Item description from seller

Production-for-use Under private ownership. A new era of civilization without taxes! Without graft! Without unemployment! Without poverty! First and only edition. Small 8vo. 126 pp. Original printed wrappers (some foxing to fore-edge, staples rusted, front cover with a few vague stains, a very good copy). Oakland, CA, USA, published by the author, A presentation copy, inscribed by the author to the great American economist Irving Fisher in black ink to the front free endpaper: 'To Prof. Fisher - Let us dedicate our lives to the abolition of poverty, crime and war. Vezino deVizino.' Loosely inserted is a small advertorial pamphlet for the work: "Here is a book which, next to the Bible, threatens to become the World's best seller - for the reason that it advocates the sublimest and noblest cause since Jesus preached "Good Will To Men." Written by an economist and efficiency expert. The author not only points the way. to a higher and better civilization.; but in doing so, strikes terror to all the world's subversive forces of both the Fascist, Nazi and Communist brands, and what he calls 'the imps of our money-mad-clan - including the international bankers and their devil's money system.' They who look upon themselves as the divinely appointed privileged few - the masters of the under-privileged millions." In short, the author presents himself as a economic saviour of the people, drawing parallels with himself and Jesus, while at the same disclaiming the idea: "This writer makes no claim of being a reincarnate Moses; a second Christ; or a new Napoleon" (pp. 11).  Rare. OCLC list only five copies in the US.…
