About this Item

Inscribed copy of an early printing of this foundational work in post World War II economics by the Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Samuelson. Warmly inscribed by Paul Samuelson on the title page to economist Rama V. Ramachandran. Ramachandran was a senior administrator at the Japan-U.S. Center in the Stern School of Business at New York University, which was among the academic institutions where Samuelson lectured as a visiting professor. The inscription reads: "For admired friend Rama, Paul Samuelson, NYU, November 2004." The date places the signing near the end of Samuelson's nearly two-decade association with the Stern School and the center. Cloth, 447 pages. Fourth Printing (1955). No dust jacket. The original dye on the cloth has faded in multiple patches on both cover creating a mottled appearance. Has bumped corners on the covers and some tanning of the page edges. Ramachandran's name is inked at the top of the title page (with a 1958 date, suggesting that he first acquired the copy in graduate school.).
