First edition, first printing. A presentation copy signed by Ludwig Von Mises on the front free endpaper and inscribed "To Orville Watts, the champion of Liberty."

Watts was hired by Leonard Read in 1939 to be the economist for the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, of which Leonard was executive director. Watts thereby became the first full-time economist to be employed by a chamber of commerce in the United States. Bound in publisher's original grey cloth with black lettering on spine. Very Good. Cloth lightly soiled and toned, with shallow loss and fraying to spine ends and corners, hairline crack at crown. Inked quotations to front pastedown and free endpaper. Contents tanned and with marking to text throughout. A key work of Austrian economist Ludwig Von Mises, a cornerstone of 20th-Century free-market economics. Signed copies are scarce.
