1927169H4514Garden City New York: Doubleday Page & Company. Good. 1927. First Edition. Hardcover. "There is no man living who from the beginning or in the progress or at the ending of federal reserve legislation was more closely or constantly than I privy to and identified with the consideration and enactment of the law under which the federal reserve banking system was set up. Ever since the enactment of the federal reserve law it has been my intention to write some day a story of the many inside events word of which never reached beyond a closely restricted circle and had no such thing as current newspaper attention. Very likely my desire to tell the dramatic story would have abated if not for the recent publication of the 'Intimate Papers' in which the paternity of the Federal Reserve Act and its particular management are placidly ascribed to Colonel E.M. House." - Introduction. Accordingly Chapter III of this book is devoted to a scathing critique of the veracity of 'The Intimate Papers of Colonel House' first published in 1926. Colonel House was an intimate confidant of Woodrow Wilson President when the Federal Reserve Act was passed. Latter day conspiracy researchers argue House successfully advocated for the interests of the House of Rothschild during the development and passage of the Federal Reserve Act. In response to Glass's book Paul Warburg also instrumental in the founding of the Federal Reserve was "impelled to lay down in black and white my recollections of certain events in the history of banking reform." - Preface to his two-volume work The Federal Reserve System Its Origins and Growth - Reflections and Recollections published in 1930. Commenting on Glass's book James Grant of Interest Rate Observer fame notes "the story of the creation of the Fed by its chief progenitor Carter Glass makes you doubt he would recognize today's Federal Reserve were he brought back to life to inspect it. He explodes in indignation at any who would impugn the proposed Federal Reserve note as mere fiat money. In fact he considered the currency to be as good as gold - or better." Clearly Glass's recollections herein represent a profoundly important chronicle of the origins and founding of the Federal Reserve System.

1903443j2092London: C.W. Daniel. Fair with no dust jacket. 1903. First British Edition. Hardcover. "It is a deplorable fact and one to which is accountable the continuance of a system which has been a failure many times during the last century that not one person in ten thousand has any really intelligent idea of the science of money - a subject which is usually treated as one of profound mystery and which only a banker is capable of understanding. To one not blinded by custom and prejudice the money question is quite comprehensible. But because of the prevalence of false and contradictory theories students find the subject hopelessly involved in ambiguities and intricacies. It is with the hope that it my evoke a spirit of inquiry leading to a clearer understanding of this most important subject that this work is published." - Preface to the British Edition. First published in the U.S. in 1894. xxvi 231 p. "Arthur Kitson 1859-1937 was a British monetary theorist and inventor. He formed the Economic Freedom League with Frederick Soddy and was active in this venture through the 1920s. He became convinced Jewish bankers were the cause of his bankruptcy and most of the world's miseries. He sent Ezra Pound a copy of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion even before Pound changed from a money radical to a notorious anti-Semite. By the time of his death Arthur Kitson was the second most influential fascist in Britain the first being Oswald Mosley. In his late years he was brought to Germany to consult with Nazi Party economists." - Wikipedia. Binding intact. Prior owner's name inside front board.

"The first systematic treatise of economics to be published within the last fifty years. Addressed to the intelligent educated layman as well as to the economist this work is a brilliant and systematic exposition of the principles and doctrines of the economics of the free society. Assuming no previous knowledge of economics on the reader's part Rothbard 1926-1995 proceeds by a deductive chain of reasoning in which every link is made explicitly evident to draw the conclusions logically implied in the fundamental axiom of human action. Conclusively demonstrates that 'the workings of the voluntary principle and of the free market lead inexorably to freedom prosperity harmony efficiency and order; while coercion and government intervention lead inexorably to hegemony conflict exploitation of man by man inefficiency poverty and chaos.'" - dust jacket.

1926169H5080New York: E.P. Dutton & Company. Fair with no dust jacket. 1926. First American Edition. Hardcover. 9 10-320 pages. Name Index. Subject index. Dedicated to Arthur Kitson "the British pioneer of the new economics to whose writings the author owes his initial interest in the fascinating problems of wealth and currency." - dedication page. Soddy 1877-1956 was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his work related to isotopes and the transmutation of elements resulting from radiation. Inspired by Kitson he began writing about economics in 1921 focussing on monetary policy and the role of energy in economic systems. "Soddy's economic writings were largely ignored in his time but would later be applied to the development of ecological economics in the late 20th century." - E. Zencey. On page 289 Soddy footnotes the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion stating "It is very widely believed that there has been something akin to an actual financial conspiracy to enslave the world." "But of the existence of a real conspiracy - a conspiracy of silence - on all monetary problems in the Press and on political platforms among editors publishers and economists who more than any others ought to be alive and awake to their infinite importance - there can be no question whatever." - p.291. "It was indeed a revelation to the author accustomed to think of the battle for liberty of thought in scientific matters as having been fought and won centuries ago at the time of Galileo and the Inquisition to find that in economics as distinct from physics it has not yet been won at all. If economics were really a science it would not need to protect itself from criticism by a conspiracy of silence." - p.292. Relatively minor marginal ink markings to thirteen pages. Front free endpaper removed. Ink stamp of "Technocracy Inc. Continental Headquarters New York City" upon half-title. Front hinge starting. Above-average wear to publisher's green cloth.

1935429j1675Gardenvale Quebec: The Garden City Press. Good with no dust jacket. 1935. Hardcover. "Ever since the English Bank Act of 1844 the creation issuance and the regulation of the circulation of the current medium of exchange have been in large measure delegated in blind faith and absolute confidence to bankers and financiers. The complete collapse of the economic structure under banker management proves that the private control of credit is fundamentally unsound. Necessity now compels all to recognize that the creation and issuance of the medium of exchange the monetization of public credit the circulation of the medium of exchange and the general supervision of the monetary system must be restored to government. We must drive the money changers out of the temples of government and put the spirit of Christ in charge." - Preface. Chapters include: The Spirit of Lincoln; Democracy or Money Power; Money is Economic Power; War and Usury; Signs of Emancipation; Lincoln The Practical Economist; Lincoln's Way Out; Lincoln and Roosevelt; The Prince of Crusaders. "Gerald Grattan McGeer 18881947 was a lawyer populist politician and monetary reform advocate in the Canadian province of British Columbia. He served as the 22nd Mayor of Vancouver a Member of the Legislative Assembly in BC Member of Parliament for the Liberal Party of Canada and in the Canadian Senate. In the early part of the Great Depression McGeer became a zealous student of economics and soon became obsessed with monetary reform as the answer to the economic crisis. He eventually came up with his own theories which he cobbled together from the work of John Maynard Keynes Abraham Lincoln and the Bible. On one occasion he hypothesized that international 'money power' was financing Communists activities in Vancouver. Another time he testified before the government that Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by international bankers opposed to the introduction of 'Greenbacks'. McGeer's lifelong mission was to attain a position where he could implement his reform ideas but his flamboyant aggressive and eccentric style and theories alienated the powerbrokers in his own party." - Wikipedia. 2 XIX 1 359 pp. Charts and tables.

An intimate knowledge of these necessities is the first condition for Social Reformers being ever able to produce something more than cheap speculations on the economic organization of the future or costly disturbances of the very delicate machinery of present economic life." - Preface.

12995Paris, L. Hachette, 1863. (4), iv, 527, (1) pp. Large 8vo. Contemporary cloth-backed marbled boards, with label with gilt lettering, small loss of paper on rear cover. Einaudi 1364; Mattioli 794; New Palgrave, i, p. 708; Schumpeter p. 958. First edition, a reformulation in non-mathematical terms of his ideas exposed earlier in his seminal but at the time almost completely ignored Recherches sur les Principes Mathématiques de la Théorie des Richesses. Cournot was the first 'to visualize the general interdependence of all economic quantities and the necessity of representing this cosmos by a system of equations' (Schumpeter, p. 467). Cournot's first attempt to apply mathematics to the treatment of economic questions, his Recherches sur les Principes Mathématiques de la Théorie des Richesses, published in 1838, did not meet with much understanding due to the fact that the work contained many technicalities to which economists had been previously unaccustomed. The book therefore went almost unnoticed until its significance was recognized by Jevons, Walras and Marshall. In the Recherches Cournot treated only questions where mathematical analysis was applicable and therefore the product was not a complete treatise on political economy but a selection of contributions to various specific topics. In the present work the results are united thus stating his theory without the mathematics and developped into a systematic doctrine. - Neatly cancelled library stamp on half-title, tear in one blank corner of a leaf neatly repaired.
