Theory of Value: An Axiomatic Analysis of Economic Equilibrium.

First edition of the groundbreaking work by Debreu, winner of the 1983 Nobel Prize in Economics, viewed as "one of the few classics of our period" by the prestigious American Economic Review for his revolutionary insights into the economics of "'general equilibrium"—demonstrating a "freely competitive economy can, in theory, reach a state in which supply balances demand in every market… an entire economy could, at least theoretically if not necessarily in fact, be in equilibrium" (Time). Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Gerard Debreu on the front free endpaper. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. First editions are scarce, especially signed.
