First edition of this important treatise, which is devoted to the need for stable currency as the indispensable foundation to a healthy world economy. Octavo, original blue cloth with gilt titles to the spine. From the library of Hugh Lancelot Beales with his ownership signature to the front free endpaper. Hugh Lancelot Beales (1889–1988) was a British economic historian and lecturer at the London School of Economics, noted for his work on nineteenth-century social and economic history. His scholarship, including works such as The Industrial Revolution 1750–1850 (1928) and The Early English Socialists (1933), examined the social consequences of industrialization and economic change, while his role as a broadcaster and editor for Pelican Books reflected his commitment to making historical knowledge accessible to a wider public audience. In very good condition. Accompanied by an autograph letter signed to Beales from A.M. DaKyns, a lecturer for the Workers’ Educational Association, laid in.
"To those who wish to seek early indications of the theories that were later to appear in the General Theory, the Tract is the most rewarding source. In it will be found, above all, the clearest possible demonstration of Keynes’s abiding interest in the objective of stabilizing the level of business activity" (Roll, A History of Economic Thought).
