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.

First edition of the Nobel Laureate's first book, a collection of twelve interlocked essays in mathematical economics. Octavo, original cloth, dust jacket; xv, 189 pp., with bibliography. A distinguished association copy, inscribed by the author on the half-title page to fellow Nobel Laureate Paul A. Samuelson: "To Paul with best wishes Edmund Phelps." From the library of Paul A. Samuelson. Near fine in a near fine, price-clipped dust jacket. The present volume gathers and extends the work for which Phelps had first drawn notice. In a 1961 article memorably subtitled "A Fable for Growthmen," he had set out the Golden Rule of capital accumulation, the rate of saving that sustains the highest attainable level of consumption for a society across successive generations, neither starving the present to enrich the future nor consuming so freely that future output is undermined. The essays assembled here expound that concept in full and pursue its analogues, demonstrating that the notion of a "commanding" growth path persists even in models admitting no simple Golden Rule. Together they address a central preoccupation of postwar economic theory: the search for a path to an optimum rate of economic growth. The book remains essential reading for students of macroeconomic theory, growth, development, and capital theory. Phelps and Samuelson stand among the central figures of twentieth-century economics, and the copy offered here carries a particular resonance. Samuelson, with Robert Solow, had done much to introduce the Phillips curve into American policy thinking at the start of the 1960s, presenting the inflation-unemployment tradeoff as a menu available to policymakers. Within the decade, Phelps's work on the expectations-augmented Phillips curve and the natural rate of unemployment would revise that interpretation, showing that no durable reduction in unemployment could be purchased through inflation once expectations adjusted - the contribution that earned him the Nobel Prize in 2006. Both men were likewise architects of modern growth theory, Samuelson through the overlapping-generations model and Phelps through the Golden Rule developed at length in these pages. Samuelson was the first American to receive the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences and remained, across half a century at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the most influential economist of the postwar American academy. Books from his working library, particularly those inscribed to him by fellow laureates, occupy a notable place among twentieth-century economics association material. An inscribed copy passing directly from the younger economist to the elder, and preserved in Samuelson's own library, quietly unites two enduring strands of a shared discipline.   This volumes of twelve interlocked essays in mathematical economics deals with a central problem of modern economic theory: the search for a path to an optimum level of economic growth. The meaning of the Golden Rule concept is thoroughly expounded and is important reading for students of macroeconomic theory, growth, development, and capital theory.

First edition of this landmark work in modern economics having sold 4 million copies in 40 languages, from the library of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Octavo, original cloth. From the library of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis with the bookplate from the Sothebyâs 23 â" 26 April 1996 sale of the estate of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to the verso of the front wrapper. When John F. Kennedy was sworn in as president on January 20, 1961, 31-year-old Jacqueline Kennedy became the third youngest First Lady in American history. As a presidential couple, the Kennedys differed from the Eisenhowers by their relative youth and their relationship with the media. Historian Gil Troy has noted that in particular, they âemphasized vague appearances rather than specific accomplishments or passionate commitmentsâ and therefore fit in well in the early 1960sâ âcool, TV-oriented cultureâ. Kennedyâ became a fashion icon during her years in the White House, hiring American designer Oleg Cassini to design her wardrobe. She was the first First Lady to hire a press secretary, Pamela Turnure, and carefully managed her contact with the media, usually shying away from making public statements and strictly controlling the extent to which her children were photographed. Portrayed by the media as the ideal woman, academic Maurine Beasley has stated that Kennedy âcreated an unrealistic media expectation for first ladies that would challenge her successors.â Nevertheless, by attracting worldwide positive public attention, the First Lady gained allies for the White House and international support for the Kennedy administration and its Cold War policies. Although Kennedy stated that her priority as a First Lady was to take care of the President and their children, she also dedicated her time to the promotion of American arts and preservation of its history. Her main contribution was the restoration of the White House, but she also furthered the cause by hosting social events that brought together elite figures from politics and the arts.

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 âĤtextbook 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.
