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 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.
