About this Item

Title page states "Houghton Mifflin Company 1921," but that's misleading. Preceding page notes: "First reprinted 1933 . . . Seventh impression 1948 / With an additional note by the Author." So this is in fact a London School of Economics 1940s reprint, "Printed by the Replika process in Great Britain by Lund Humphries / London * Bradford." Gilt titles to spine and front board faded but still legible -- NO jacket. Board corners warped open about 3/8th-inch (1 cm.) PON "Walker Technical College, Hartshill, Oakengates, Shropshire" stamped to blank FFE. "This work was first published in 1921, as number xxxi in Messrs. Hart, Schaffner & Marx' series of prize essays on economics," the current publishers note. "In recent years it has been out of print. . . ." Includes a 36-page author's "Preface to the Re-issue" and an additional 15-page "Preface for the Reprint of 1948." Considerable discussion of time preference. We will not ship this book to France. 381 pp. including index. Reduced from $475. Seller Inventory # 008681
