Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. As new condition white boards/red cloth spine/black spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; Preface by Nobel Laureate Milton Friedman dated May 2, 1977; Foreword by Nobel Laureate F.A. Haye…k; Notes and Index. "This is a brilliant and passionate book by a brilliant and passionate man," writes Milton Friedman. "It is a profound analysis of the suicidal course on which our beloved country is proceeding -- so clearly and so simply written, with such eloquence, such obvious sincerity, such a broad base in recorded fact and personal experience, that it is hard to see how any reasonable man who wishes his fellow citizens well can fail to be persuaded by it." " I can assure the reader," writes F.A. Hayek, "that Mr. Simon is not UNDULY an alarmist. If we learn from him and the few people who think like him, we may still avert the threatening collapse of our political and economic order." With such endorsements from TWO Nobel Prize-winning economists, it is obvious that William E. Simon has written one of the most significant books for our country in this perilous time. In this book, Mr. Simon presents both his personal philosophy and an insider's revealing picture of the Nixon and Ford Administrations. He substantiates his important message with the wider perspective he gained in his stormy Washington years. His aim is to inspire all Americans to a critical awareness of the real and unbreakable connection between economic and political freedom. To lose one is to lose the other. To lose one is to lose the other. And we are losing both, he warns, in the wake of the expanding state. But Mr. Simon does more than warn us, more than reveal the dangers of too much government: he offers a blueprint for a "counter-intelligentsia" to preserve our freedom." -- from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: William E. Simon was Secretary of the Treasury from 1974 to 1977. He also served as Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, 1973-1974, and as CHairman of the Economic Policy Board, the Federal Energy Office, and the East-West FOreign Trade Board. Mr. Simon is now a Senio Advisor to Booz, Allen & Hamilton, Inc. and a Senior Consultant to Blyth Eastman Dillon & Co., Inc. - from the rear inner jacket flap.

First edition. Large 8vo. xvi, 567, [1] pp., frontispiece portrait with tissue guard, nine other full-page photographic illustrations. Modern full crushed navy morocco with triple gilt fillet, spine ruled gilt in compartments, all edges gilt. A very handsome copy. London, Secker and Warburg. With a preface by F. A. von Hayek, wh…o had published the letters between Mill and his wife Harriet in 1951; Hayek declares that "there may still be details to be filled in here and there; but on the whole I feel that Mr. Packe has given us the definitive biography of Mill for which we have so long been waiting". Hayek was fascinated by Mill, who was undeniably a forerunner of his own brand of liberalism, and yet who he felt had wrongly departed from the principles of Adam Smith. 'The statement that Mill was Britain?s most important philosopher in the nineteenth century looks like a bold assertion, but in fact it should not be even mildly controversial. The Victorians themselves might have thought that someone else, such as Herbert Spencer, better merited this title, but from our perspective Mill has no serious rivals. Indeed, only Charles Darwin could possibly rival Mill?s claim to having been nineteenth-century Britain?s most important intellectual figure' (Dictionary of Nineteenth-Century British Philosophers, Thoemmes Press, 2002). Provenance: morocco bookplate of the bookseller William Foyle, from his celebrated library at Beeleigh Abbey, near Maldon in Essex.
