13502No place or printer but England 1840s . Slip broadside 14½ x 5 inches; printed on thin paper with a single horizontal fold mounted on an old album sheet but in nice condition. The poem begins "Now you neighbours and friends if you listen to me" and continues We have corn we have cattle we have pastures and fields And such crops as no country but England can yield. Yet with all this abundance one half of the nation To speak at the least are in a state of Starvation. . . . Apparently both an unrecorded broadside and an unrecorded text.

195585736Cairo Egypt: N.B.E. Printing 1955. First Edition. First printing. Octavo. 24.5cm. Publisher's original white paper wraps with yapp edges titled in black to front wrap. 3; 60pp.; 24 bibliography to rear. Light wear and creasing to the yapp edges a little scuffing to the spine ends and some isolated minor soiling; internally clean and fresh. A Very Good clean copy indeed. <br /> <br /> A keystone piece of economic theory and a major influence upon the evolution of Free Market theory following on from Hayek's seminal "Profits Interest and Investment" 1939. In essence the "The Political Ideal of the Rule of Law" is an intellectually passionate defense of legal predictability equality before the law and limited government power as it relates to markets and commerce. Hayek's lectures portray these principles not only as essential for political liberty but also as the foundation of any healthy economic system. Extremely scarce in commerce with adequate holdings in institutions likely due to the publication's and Hayek's association with the University of Chicago. N.B.E. Printing unknown
194785730Princeton New Jersey: Princeton University Press 1947. Revised Second Edition. Octavo. 24cm. Publisher's deep brown cloth with red and gilt titles to spine. Dustjacket. xviii; 641pp. Some light scuffing to corners and a little light bumping and rubbing to the spine ends clean and bright; topstain red internally clean and fresh with some informed underlining and emphasis from a previous reader in the early part of the text; in a clean dustjacket with a portion of loss to the joint of the front and rear flaps toning most heavily to the spine panel and shallow chipping and loss to the spine ends with old tape reinforcement to the verso of the jacket. A very good handsome copy of an important book in a dustjacket that has seen some wear. Shows very well.<br /> <br /> Von Neumann and Morgenstern were the first theorists to build a framework for the analysis of strategic decision making ostensibly in "game" environments but essentially expanding that framework out over a significant portion of human interactions. The basic supporting member is that each decision maker will attempt to improve their own situation and maximize their own outcomes thus making their choices at least partially predictable and measurable. Much like Mackay's "Extraordinary Popular Delusions" "The Madness of Crowds" in 1841 "Theory of Games" is one of those works that changed enormously how we think about human interaction and the concepts of free will and independent decision making. The influence of this work has in one form or another extended into a myriad of different fields; from military intelligence via the stock market and economic to computing and how we decide to lay out supermarket shelves. Fiercely collectible since publication early printings are thin on the ground. Princeton University Press unknown

18285421London: T. Birt 1828. First edition. Single sheet measuring 250 x 185mm and printed in two columns to recto. Some edgewear to margins not affecting text; a bit of foxing and toning largely confined to margins. A scarce and delicate survivor OCLC documents only one example at the National Library of Scotland. The present is the only example on the market.<br /> <br /> The Dandy Wife is narrated by a man who aimed "to choose me out a loving wife" at the age of twenty-one but whose experience becomes a warning to "all young men of high renown": "If you want a tidy wife Beware of a boarding school." What unfolds is a satire of how the marriage economy is affected when women have access to knowledge -- intellectual and physical -- and how by meeting a man's superficial expectations a woman can fulfill her own more pressing needs.<br /> <br /> Thinking that a boarding school girl will have the innocence submissiveness and domestic skill he desires the narrator selects a wife from among their ranks. Thinking only of what he can obtain from such a bargain he is unprepared for what an educated woman brings into his house. The Dandy Wife he describes understands the commodity value of her own beauty and material adornment and that these are her key means for acquiring wealth of her own. "She takes one-half of what I earn In drinking gin and tea; Besides such frills and furbelows My Dandy Wife does wear.Her sleeves upon her dandy gown Oh! Lack they're such a size You'd think they were two balloons that in the air would rise." Aside from staying on par with fashion trends her clothing assists her in avoiding domestic tasks she abhors. She refuses to do laundry more than monthly and through ridiculous cooking failures she rapidly establishes that the kitchen is not a showcase for her skillset. Accustomed to a life of learning she is not trained to conduct domestic business. <br /> <br /> By the ballad's end it becomes clear that the Dandy Wife was savvier in managing a marriage than her husband was. For not only does her superior intellect help her carve out a more satisfying role but she also has physical knowledge that predates him: "The day that I was married I thought I'd got a charming maid But I was much deceived.For scarce five months we'd married been When she had a darling son.

1935426j0787Oxford: The Alden Press. Good in Fair dust jacket. 1935. First Edition. Hardcover. "The nom-de-plume 'A Fellow Pilgrim' masks the identity of Arthur Kitson one to whose credit stands the authorship of a whole series of authoritative works on economic and financial subjects. He here indulges his fancy by speculating how John Bunyan might have portrayed his hero Christian and his friends and what their encounters would have been had their pilgrimages been conducted during recent Great Depression-era years. Herein is much food for thought and perhaps a moral for the present troubled times." - dust jacket. "Kitson 1859-1937 invented the vaporised oil burner and held many patents. He became convinced Jewish bankers were the cause of his bankruptcy and most of the world's miseries. He formed the Economic Freedom League with Frederick Soddy and was active in this venture through the 1920s. 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 in 1937 Kitson was the second most influential fascist in Britain the first being Oswald Mosely. In his late years he was brought to Germany to consult with Nazi party economists." - Wikipedia. "Kitson was a close friend of Henry Hamilton Beamish of the Britons and Arnold Leese of the Imperial Fascist League and was the chief source for their economic ideas." - British Fascism p.105. 460 pages.
