199090367Cambridge: The MIT Press 1990. First edition of this collection of essays compiled to celebrate the Nobel Prize-winning economist's birthday; signed by two Nobel Peace-prize winning economists. Signed by Robert Solow below his frontispiece portrait and editor Peter Diamond on the front free endpaper. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Robert Merton Solow is known for his work on the theory of economic growth that culminated in the exogenous growth model named after him. He was awarded the John Bates Clark Medal in 1961 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1987 and the 2014 Presidential Medal of Freedom. Solow and colleague Paul Samuelson were responsible for MIT becoming the top ranked economics department. The MIT economists were thus growthmen in two senses: in seeing growth as an absolutely central policy imperative and in seeing the theory of growth as a focus for economic research. What the MIT growthmen added was a distinctive style of analysis that made it easier to address the dominant policy concerns in tractable formal models. Solow's 1956 model was the perfect exemplar of the MIT style. It provided the central framework for the subsequent developments in growth theory and secured MIT as the center of the universe in the golden age of growth theory in the 1960s Boianovsky and Hoover 199-200.

1999MM13359New York:: Norton 1999. 1999. 8vo. 480 pp. 32 plates figs. index. Pictorial wrappers. Fine. ISBN: 0393317552 Reviews: "Fascinating. . . Lays a foundation for understanding human history."- Bill Gates. In this "artful informative and delightful" William H. McNeill New York Review of Books book Jared Diamond convincingly argues that geographical and environmental factors shaped the modern world. Societies that had had a head start in food production advanced beyond the hunter-gatherer stage and then developed religion --as well as nasty germs and potent weapons of war --and adventured on sea and land to conquer and decimate preliterate cultures. A major advance in our understanding of human societies Guns Germs and Steel chronicles the way that the modern world came to be and stunningly dismantles racially based theories of human history. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize the Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science the Rhone-Poulenc Prize and the Commonwealth club of California's Gold Medal. "A book of remarkable scope a history of the world in less than 500 pages which succeeds admirably where so many others have failed in analyzing some of the basic workings of culture process. . . One of the most important and readable works on the human past published in recent years." -Colin Renfrew Nature. MK Norton, 1999. unknown books
