First edition of this classic text. Octavo, original gray cloth. Signed by Robert M. Solow on the title page. In very good condition with notes and marginalia. Linear programming has been one of the most important postwar developments in economic theory, but until publication of the Linear Programming and Economic Analysis, no text offered a comprehensive treatment of the many facets of the relationship of linear programming to traditional economic theory. This book was the first to provide a wide-ranging survey of such important aspects of the topic as the interrelations between the celebrated von Neumann theory of games and linear programming, and the relationship between game theory and the traditional economic theories of duopoly and bilateral monopoly.

Five Typed Letters Signed from Samuelson to Mark Donoghue with associated envelopes, four original offprints of journal articles by Samuelson with his printed compliments slips, and with photocopies of Donoghue's side of the correspondence. Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1992-2001. A full description is available below. A small but rich archive of correspondence between the Nobel prize winning economist Paul Samuelson and the New Zealand economist Mark Donoghue, including five long and generous Typed Letters Signed from Samuelson containing in-depth discussion of theoretical points in the history of economics. The earliest letter from Samuelson, dated '22 January 1992', relates to the Austrian-born economist Harro Bernardelli (1906-1981), with whom a young Paul Samuelson had engaged in a dispute published in the journal Economica in 1938-39 relating to the immeasurability of total and marginal utility. At the time of writing, Donoghue was working as a research assistant alongside Peter Groenewgen at the University of Sydney, and was collecting material in preparation for a biographical piece on Bernardelli. Reflecting on the disagreement, Samuelson writes: 'I re-read my 1939 Economica piece on Bernardelli. It reads O.K. to me in 1992, and perhaps could have been made even stronger.' Samuelson continues: 'You do not mention what I had considered his most notable contribution: the matrix discrete-time version of the Lotka population-growth model. Subsequently Leslie got most credit for it but priority in time was definitely Bernardelli's'. The next two letters from Samuelson, sent together dated '12 August 1994' and '15 August 1994', pertain to the Nobel Prize winning British economist Sir John Richard Hicks, who was the subject of Donoghue's doctoral thesis at the Australian National University on Hicks and the development of microeconomic theory, 1930-1950. The '12 August' letter stands at three dense pages and contains remarkable comments by Samuelson on his admiration for Hicks and his influence on Samuelson's own thought: "No one's work paralleled Hicks's as closely as mine. I learned much from him - essentially all that was there to be learned. . Perhaps his Revision of Demand Theory overlapped most with my revealed preference stuff. It was not a terribly successful effort but it, so to speak, kept his hand in the ongoing poker game. So original was John R. Hicks that even in his less successful efforts he could not help coming up with original insights arrived at in his own individual way." Samuelson also extends personal insights into Hicks as a man ("I thought his English contemporaries underestimated him -- both for reasons of political ideology and psychological resentments. His oral talents were not up to his written talents; being a proud person, that bothered him more than it should have. He resented having to share the Nobel Prize.") and there is a somewhat pointed discussion of Hicks's tendency towards rather casual citations in his works ("At a number of places he did make reference to my somewhat relevant researches. But generally the wordings were vague . Early on I resolved to benefit from his writings and not be concerned as to whether or not he benefitted in similar degree from mine"). The '15 August' letter answers Donoghue's earlier request to forward any relevant correspondence between Samuelson and Hicks, enclosing 13 pages of photocopied correspondence. These two letters from Samuelson are then followed-up by a letter dated '9 November 1994' from Samuelson's assistant Janice Murray enclosing enclosing 14 pages of photocopied correspondence between Hicks and Robert Solow. The next round of correspondence is an exchange of offprints, with Samuelson writing in a letter dated '15 December 1998' in response to Donoghue's request for copies of Samuelson's articles 'The Classical Classical Fallacy' and 'The "Transformation" from Marxian "Value" to Competitive "Prices": a Process of Rejection and Replacement', both of which are enclosed with Samuelson's letter. Samuelson takes time to particularly comment on 'The Classical Classical Fallacy' article: "I have a feeling that except for me no one, including the referees, really read and understood the scores of dogmatic assertions in this piece. I was generous in finding faults there; but each indictment was based on cogent proof and syllogisms". Samuelson also remarks upon an article previously sent to him by Donoghue on William Thomas Thornton, member of J.S. Mill's circle: "Finally, I thank you for the item on W.T. Thornton and the item concerning Cairnes on rehabilitation of the wage fund. When a sliver of leisure appears, I hope to get from them interest, utility and profit. Cairnes was an able scholar caught in a period of transition. (Yogi Berra, the great baseball player, said: 'When you come to a fork in the road, take it.')". Donoghue's work on Thornton would eventually become a full-length biography published in 2016 under the title Faithful Victorian: William Thomas Thornton, 1813-1880. The final letter, dated '9 June 1999', consists of Samuelson sending Donoghue the submitted draft of his forthcoming book chapter titled ?Samuelson's Contributions to the History of Classical Economics? The long two page letter shows Samuelson in a contemplative mood, with reflective comments on the position of the history of economic thought within his own work, particularly commenting on his early experiences of teaching of the subject: ?My formal course work at Chicago and Harvard, under Viner, Knight and Schumpeter, involved very little of doctrinal history. By now most top graduate schools require (and offer) virtually no history of doctrine." Samuelson also makes reference to his critiques of Marx ("My audit of him is a harsh one; I single out as useful only his circular-flow explorations à la Quesnay.") as well as Piero Sraffa ("? my competent friends regard all this as a waste of time; my readers, mostly Sraffian cultists, rev.

First edition of Merton's landmark work, which introduced the concepts of continuous-time optimization, inscribed by Merton to fellow Nobel Prize-winning economist Kenneth Arrow. Octavo, original cloth. Foreword by Paul A. Samuelson. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the title page to fellow Nobel Prize-winning economist Kenneth Arrow. Additionally signed by Paul A. Samuelson at his contribution. Kenneth Arrow's signature to the front free endpaper, fine in a near fine dust jacket. From the library of Kenneth Arrow. Robert C. Merton is known for his pioneering contributions to continuous-time finance, especially the first continuous-time option pricing model, the Blackâ"Scholes formula. The Blackâ"Scholesâ"Merton model is a mathematical model of a financial market containing derivative investment instruments. From the model, one can deduce the Blackâ"Scholes formula, which gives a theoretical estimate of the price of European-style options. The formula led to a boom in options trading and provided mathematical legitimacy to the activities of the Chicago Board Options Exchange and other options markets around the world. lt is widely used, although often with adjustments and corrections, by options market participants. Many empirical tests have shown that the Blackâ"Scholes price is "fairly close" to the observed prices, although there are well-known discrepancies such as the "option smile". Based on works previously developed by market researchers and practitioners, such as Louis Bachelier, Sheen Kassouf and Ed Thorp among others, Fischer Black and Myron Scholes came to the formula in the late 1960s. In 1970, after they attempted to apply the formula to the markets and incurred financial losses due to lack of risk management in their trades, they decided to focus in their domain area, the academic environment.[6] After three years of efforts, the formula named in honor of them for making it public, was finally published in 1973 in an article entitled "The Pricing of Options and Corporate Liabilities", in the Journal of Political Economy. Robert C. Merton was the first to publish a paper expanding the mathematical understanding of the options pricing model, and coined the term "Blackâ"Scholes options pricing model". Merton and Scholes received the 1997 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for their work.

First edition of this classic text. Octavo, original gray cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed Paul Samuelson to colleague and close friend Francis Bator on the front free endpaper, "With thanks of Paul S." With Francis M. Bator signature and note Gift of PAS, Jan. 17, 1958. Also laid in is a note, "With the Compliments of Paul A. Samuelson." The recipient, Francis M. Bator was Deputy National Security Advisor of the United States from 1965 to 1967. He was also a Special Assistant to President Lyndon B. Johnson. Bator was Lucius N. Littauer Professor of Political Economy in Harvard's Kennedy School of Government where he was founding chairman of the School's Public Policy Program, and director of studies in its Institute of Politics. Before coming to Harvard in 1967 he served as deputy national security advisor to President Lyndon Johnson covering U.S.-European relations and foreign economic policy. On the occasion of his departure from the White House, The Economist of London headed an article about his service "Europe's Assistant." Bator's 1958 article "The Anatomy of Market Failure," was recently described as "the standard reference" to the "approach [that] now forms the basis of â¦textbook expositions in the economics of the public sector." His 1960 book, The Question of Government Spending, was described in the Economic Journal "as a model of the sort of contribution which the economist can make to informed public discussion" and in the New York Times as one of seven books that influenced President Kennedy's approach to the presidency.

First edition, early printing of Volume I of the Nobel Prize-winning economists papers. Octavo, original cloth. Inscribed by the author on the title page,ÂÂ"For Doug Burrows, Paul A. Samuelson, Endicott House, June 21, 1972." Fine in a near fine dust jacket. "It is a measure of Professor Samuelson's preeminence that the sheer scale of his work should be so much taken for granted," observes a reviewer in the "Economist" who goes on to note that "a cynic might add that it would have been better for Professor Samuelson to write less merely to give others a chance to write at all." In fact, Samuelson's output, his "extraordinary mastery of methods, both mathematical and linguistic" (review of Volume 4 of "The Collected Scientific Papers"), have not diminished. Volumes 1 through 4 encompass more than 280 articles. The first two contain virtually all of Samuelson's contributions to economic theory through mid-1964; Volume 3 contains all the scientific papers written from mid-1964 through 1970, and the last volume brings his work up to through 1976.

First edition of this collection of essay regarding the influence of John Maynard Keynes. Octavo, original blue cloth. Signed by Nobel Prize winning-economist Paul Samuelson, who contributed an essay to this volume. Fine in a very good dust jacket with some rubbing to the extremities. Other contributors include John Maynard Keynes, Wassily Leontief, Lloyd Metzler, Gottfried Haberler, Wassily Leontief, Abba Lerner, Joan Robinson, Joseph A. Schumpeter and Jan Tinbergen among others. Paul Samuelson is one of the developers of both neo-Keynesian and neoclassical economics, the latter of which still dominates mainstream economics. He was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1970. One of Samuelson's many novel contributions was that he generalized and applied mathematical methods developed for the study of thermodynamics to the field of economics. His inspiration for doing so came, in part, from his mentor, polymath Edwin Bisdwell Wilson who was a former Yale student of the founder of chemical thermodynamics, Willard Gibbs. Samuelson, therefore, is a successful example of interdisciplinarity, and he combined these ideas in his magnum opus Foundations of Economic Analysis.

First editions, first printings, signed on the title page of each volume by Paul Samuelson, and on the title page of the first two volumes by one of the editors, Samuelson's fellow Nobel Prize-winner Joseph Stiglitz. Paul Samuelson (1915-2009) was the first American to win the Nobel Prize in economics.
