Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Xv, 442 Pp. Orange Cloth Stamped In Black. First Printing (No Additional Printing Indicated). Near Fine In Near Fine Dust Jacket Priced $10.00. A Well Regarded Study Of A Government Anti-Poverty Program. No Comparison With Other Models Such As The Fr…ench-Haitian Model (Kill The Rich And Take Their Stuff); The Russian-Chinese Model (Destroy Everything The Rich Accumulated And Start Over); The Colonial Model (Seize Control, Expropriate All Land, Regulate All Trade In Your Own Favor); The Australian-American Model (Invade A Huge Area And Take All The Land, Put The Natives In Small, Restricted Areas, Build Up A Middle Class By Successive Land Re-Sales), Or The Modern Globalized Model (Eliminate Land-Ownership Almost Altogether By Giving Limitless Loans To Landlords; Reduce Small Business Opportunity By Consolidating Property Ownership, Patents, And Licenses In Large Or Private Corporations, Reduce The Number Of Competing Economic Entities By Facilitating Successful Competition On Price Alone By Ever-Larger Enterprises Particularly By Moving Labor Costs To The Least Expensive Locations And Moving The Tax Base, Eliminate Original Human Thought By Bombarding Everyone With Low-Information-Content Advertisements And Info-Tainment And Self-Celebration, Eliminate Unemployment By Giving Everyone The Opportunity To Work For Massive Consumer-Goods Distributors, Eliminate Unpredictable Civil And Political Evolution By Promoting Everyone Who Is Emotionally Unable To Discuss Anything Impartially And Intelligently. Analysis Of These Competing Models Might Indicate That There Is A Problem In Every Society With Confrontation Of Those With Economic And Political Power Who Do Things That Are Incompetent, Wasteful, Selfish, Or Just Plain Stupid And Ugly, But That Sort Of Thinking Doesn't Create Analytic Jobs And Does Nothing For Eliminating Poverty Amongst The Educationally Advantaged.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Printed in the U.S.A. [Date from the copyright page.] Stated First Edition, First Printing. Foreword, Introduction, Conclusions, Bibliography, Glossary, Index; 212 pages. The original beige cloth is excellent, with corners square and black lettering…on the spine clear. The interior is creamy-bright, despite a bit of freckling to the top edge; it is completely clean. The original printed yellow-and-black dust jacket has one small tear and three teensy chips at the top of the spine. The top of the inner flap is clipped; however, the bottom bears the price of $3.00. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] From the Introduction: "I was impressed by the increasing weight of evidence of telepathic occurrences which can be observed in everyday life, in dreams, in the psychoanalytic situation, in neuroses and psychoses, if only we are prepared to meet them with an open mind and to surmount our ingrained prejudice against the very possibility of their occurrence." As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.
