About this Item

First edition of the economist's masterpiece, generally regarded as the most influential social science treatise of the twentieth century. Octavo, original cloth. Signed by Nobel Prize-winning economist, "Modern macroeconomics began with this book, no wonder it's not easy to read Robert Solow." In near fine condition. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box made by the Harcourt Bindery. A unique example. The General Theory ranks with Smith s Wealth of Nations as an intellectual event and with Malthus Essay on Population as a guide for public policy. The London Review of Books has grouped The General Theory "among the glories of modern publishing, edited with exemplary authority and lack of fuss." Many innovations of The General Theory remain central to modern macroeconomics. It was placed on Time's 2001 top one-hundred non-fiction books written in English since 1923.
