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).

Acquaforte misure: mm 140 x 147 Pittore e incisore tedesco. La sua formazione artistica avvenne inizialmente a Norimberga poi a Monaco dove si trasferì definitivamente nel 1837. Durante la sua vita egli compì numerosi viaggi non solo in Germania ma anche in Svizzera, Austria e Italia. Interessanti sono le sue acqueforti, circa cinquecento, che ritraggono in chiave romantica paesaggi, persone e vedute con animali; ci restituiscono uno spaccato dei costumi borghesi e popolari dell'epoca. In questa stampa viene raffigurato, in un paesaggio desolato, spoglio e roccioso un asino da soma. È in piedi di profilo sul fianco sinistro. Sta mangiando del fieno da una sacca da naso piuttosto elaborata e indossa paraocchi. La postura conferisce dinamismo all’animale, giochi chiaroscurali descrivono la pelliccia ispida tipica degli asini in maniera molto realistica. Firma con monogramma e data in lastra, in basso a destra. Titolo in tedesco a matita oltre l'immagine. Bibliografia: Jahn 1863, 260.

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.
Quella di Adam Smith è una delle grandi figure della tradizione culturale europea, il filosofo morale da cui provengono alcune delle tesi fondamentali dell'economia politica moderna. Nella sua storia del pensiero economico (pubblicata in due volumi nel 1995), Murray N. Rothbard vede però nelle opere di Smith l'origine di molti errori che avrebbero dominato la riflessione sull'economia e lo stesso liberalismo: dalla teoria del valore-lavoro (che attraverso David Ricardo condurrà a Karl Marx) fino al rigetto dei diritti naturali. Mentre esalta il pensiero dell'età medievale e della prima età moderna (da Pierre de Jean Olivi fino ai filosofi della seconda Scolastica), lo studioso americano sferra quindi un attacco durissimo all'autore della "Ricchezza delle Nazioni", a cui contrappone personalità pure assai meno note quali Cantillon e Turgot. I due capitoli della sua History in cui Rothbard esamina il pensiero smithiano e i suoi immediati sviluppi sono ora offerti al lettore italiano. Curato da Paolo Zanotto, questo libro propone una lettura provocatoria e quanto mai originale del grande economista scozzese, dando un punto di vista inedito su tante questioni cruciali della cultura occidentale. Autori: Murray N. Rothbard. Curatori: P. Zanotto.
