In-8, cartonnage ocre à la bradel, pièce de titre de veau brun, tranches jaspées (rel. moderne Devauchelle), (8), 412, (2) p. Edition originale, et unique, de cet essai que L.-A. Say consacre à l'analyse critique des œuvres économiques de ses contemporains: Dupont de Nemours, Adam Smith, Canard, Lauderdale, Ganilh, Ricardo, Malthus, Destutt de Tracy, Saint-Chamans et son frère J.B. Say. L'auteur y développe une théorie entièrement originale dont l'importance a été réévaluée par les historiens modernes de l'économie politique. "Anticlassique", il combat la théorie libérale non pas comme les socialistes de son temps au nom de la justice, mais en réfutant la détermination de la valeur par le coût de production des classiques, pour y opposer une théorie personnelle de la valeur fondée sur l'utilité. Frère cadet de Jean-Baptiste Say auquel l'ouvrage est dédié, Louis-Auguste Say (1774-1840) fit fortune dans l'industrie sucrière. Il est le fondateur de l'empire sucrier portant son nom. Sur son oeuvre économique cf. Marc Penouil, 'Louis Say', in "Revue économique", 1967, vol. 18, n°1, p. 98-122. (Einaudi, 5129. Goldsmiths, 23443. Kress, C.967). Très bon exemplaire, très bien relié.

brossura Il saggio su Adam Smith accoglie la tesi dominante che la sua celeberrima "Indagine sulla ricchezza delle nazioni" sia la bibbia del liberismo, ma afferma che questo lavoro non possa essere interpretato indipendentemente dalla considerazione di un altro celebre scritto dello stesso autore intitolato "Teoria dei sentimenti morali". Carlo Scognamiglio Pasini sostiene la tesi secondo cui comprendere il pensiero di Adam Smith significa cogliere il nesso profondo che esiste tra economia ed etica, aspetti non disgiunti nell'ambito della convivenza sociale. L'egoismo di Smith non può, perciò, essere considerato un elemento disgregatore della società quanto, piuttosto, un fattore di ordine e di sviluppo. I meccanismi di mercato agiscono come una "mano invisibile" che guida l'economia nella ricerca del benessere collettivo. Un ulteriore Momento d'Oro dell'Economia suddiviso in due parti. Nella prima, la biografia di Adam Smith, l'analisi del contesto economico e culturale in cui ha operato, la nascita e gli sviluppi della scienza economica. La seconda parte contiene, invece, una selezione antologica di passi significativi tratti da "Indagine sulla natura e le cause della ricchezza delle nazioni" (1776) e "La teoria dei sentimenti morali" (1759).

xxiv, 904 pages. Index. Frontis portrait of author. "It is about sixty years since Adam Shortt completed his classic series of articles on Canadian banking history. They first appeared in the Journal of the Canadian Bankers' Association, now known as the Canadian Banker. They may provide an interesting perspective on the continuing debate about the structure of our financial system." - Foreword. "Shortt built a very rich storehouse of information through which we can understand the practical origins of Canadian currency and the banking industry as well as gain some understanding of the background and intent of the nineteenth-century legislation regulating them." - Introduction. Author studied and taught at Queen's University in Kingston. Prior owner's name and date atop front free endpaper. Minimal markings to contents. Average wear to publisher's pale blue cloth lettered in silver. Binding intact. No dust jacket, presumably as issued. A sound copy of this valuable history. Book
3 vols., 8vo., Sixth Edition, early nineteenth-century signature on titles, some light and inoffensive spotting to a few leaves, some very ight marginalia in pencil only; strongly and attractively bound in nineteenth century half calf, boards in dark green diced cloth, backs with five raised bands tooled in gilt, second and fourth compartments with red leather labels ruled, lettered and numbered in gilt, red sprinkled edges, a remarkably well-preserved, crisp, clean copy in later period binding. One of 2000 copies printed. 'The Wealth of Nations', coming at a point when 'natural liberty' was being being widely debated, had a decisive influence both on the study of national economy and on the freeing of economic policy from the artificial restraint of the mercantilist system. Smith's statement that labour is the source of a nation's commodities and that the variation in 'stock' values are due to the interaction of wages, profits and rent, formulated the doctrine of the classic school of economic thought, and round it all modern economic discussion has revolved' (PMM).
