Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis.

First edition of the new edition of this "work on political economy in the tradition of the great moral philosophers, a Montesquieu or Adam Smith, containing both acute knowledge and profound wisdom by von Mises" (F.A. Hayek). Octavo, bound in full morocco by the Harcourt Bindery with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands, gilt ruling to the front and rear panel, gilt inner dentelles stamp-signed by the Harcourt Bindery, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author, "Mr. J. Hugh Jackson with kindest regards L. Mises." In near fine condition, Stanford University Library stamp to the title page with marginalia throughout. An interesting provenance as many exceptional economists have come out of Stanford and went on to win the Nobel Prize. An exceptional presentation, with noted provenance.
