"Who combines all the advantages of a philosophical worldliness and a worldly philosophy": First Edition of The Worldy Philosophers
First edition of this bestselling classic, which has went on to sell more than 4 million copies. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. A very sharp example.
The Worldly Philosophers elucidates historically popular economic theories. The author's ability to do so with ease and effectiveness is a mark of its appreciation, and it remains an indispensable text for students of economics today. John Kenneth Galbraith stated "[i]f ever a book answered a crying need, this one does. Here is all the economic lore most general readers conceivably could want to know, served up with a flourish by a man who writes with immense vigor and skill, who has a rare gift for simplifying complexities." Galbraith's approval is all the more relevant considering that this copy was inscribed to him.
