Overall, a handsome copy. Although often mistakenly referred to as the "Second Edition," the 1948 offered here is not a textual second edition (i.e., there are no changes to the text save for the 1948 date on the title page, and the words "Second Printing" on both the copyright page and the front flap of the dust jacket). This highly influential book, which was based on Samuelson's doctoral thesis, "provided a toolbox of techniques that were to become standard in postwar economics. In particular, it established the importance of deriving comparative statics resultswhat happens to an equilibrium when something changesand provided methods for doing this. A recurring theme in the book was the need for economic theories to be 'operational'to have testable implications" (ANB). Provenance: On the front free endpaper is the prior owner name R.W. Oliver, most likely Robert W. Oliver (1922-1998), who earned his PhD in economics at Princeton in 1957, was a Professor of Economics at Caltech from 1959-1988,and worked as an economist at the World Bank.

First edition of the Nobel Prize-winning economistâs magnum opus and one of the most influential economic texts of the twentieth century as published in Harvard Economic Studies as volume LXXX in the series. Octavo, original burgundy cloth. In near fine condition with light toning to the spine. Harvard College library bookplate to the pastedown. An exceptional example with noted provenance. Based on Samuelson's 1941 doctoral dissertation at Harvard University, Foundations of Economic Analysis "drastically redirected the advanced study of economics toward greater and more productive use of mathematics" (Cooper, 1997). Through the work, Samuelson sought to demonstrate a common mathematical structure underlying multiple branches of economics from two basic principles: maximizing behavior of agents (such as of utility by consumers and profits by firms) and stability of equilibrium as to economic systems (such as markets or economies). Among other contributions, it advanced the theory of index numbers and generalized welfare economics. The title of this work "was meant to be exactly as ambitious as it sounds, and the bookâs impact on the profession has largely justified it. For the first time in a book in English on economic principles, the mathematics, instead of being relegated to an appendix, provided the skeleton of the argument. Fifty years after it was written, the Foundations (together with Hicksâ Value and Capital) is still one of the most inspiring classics of general equilibrium economics (Niehans, History of Economic Theory, 423).

First edition, first printing, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "This book was written for economists like Roman Weil, Paul A. Samuelson, AB Chicago '35. MIT, June 2001". Weil (1940-2023) was a faculty member of the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago from 1965 to 2008, where he was especially known for his work on bond duration. He has inserted a pencilled slip, noting "His textbook & my freshman Yale teacher, G. G. Gaul, turned me on to economics. I didn't look at this till I was a graduate student in the mid 1960s. Didn't mean much to me then or now. Still 1st book by 1st USA Econ. Nobelist, RLW 07/01". Samuelson's inscription refers to his graduation from Chicago in 1935. Foundations is the Nobel prize-winning economist's first book, based on his Harvard doctoral dissertation, which established mathematics as the foundation of economics. "More than anyone else he [Samuelson] bears responsibility for the mathematical bent of economics in the late 20th century" (Pressman, pp. 162-3). Samuelson shows that the common mathematical structure underlying multiple branches of economics is based on a set of basic principles: the optimizing behaviour of agents and the stability of equilibrium for economic systems.

Cambridge, MA; Harvard University Press. Samuelson's seminal first book, based on his doctoral dissertation at Harvard, one of the most influential economic texts of the twentieth century in which he established mathematics as the foundation of economics, rather than a mere addendum. Samuelson's 'brilliant doctoral dissertation? was a 'milestone in the conversion of modern economists to the view that all economic behaviour can be fruitfully studied as the solution to a maximisation problem explicitly or implicitly employing the mathematics of differential and integral calculus. In addition, his formulation of the correspondence principle marked the beginning of the modern interest in economic dynamics, the study of price formation out of equilibrium' (Blaug). 'Samuelson more than anyone else brought economics from its pre-1930s verbal and diagrammatic mode of analysis to the quantitative mathematical style and methods of reasoning that have dominated for many decades' (New Palgrave). From the library of the American Marxist economist and Stanford professor Paul A. Baran (1909-1964), with his ownership inscription dated 'April 1948' in black ink to the front free endpaper.

First edition, first printing, with a loosely inserted slip signed by Samuelson at MIT in 1979, and formerly belonging to Ragnar Nurkse (1907-2007), a key founder of development economics, with his ink signature on the front free endpaper. In 1947, Nurkse had just joined Columbia University as an associate professor of economics. Interestingly, Samuelson does not appear to have been sympathetic to development economics, warning in 2004 that continued economic integration of global markets would damage high-wage jobs in more highly developed countries. Foundations is the Nobel Prize-winning economist's first book, which established mathematics as the foundation of economics, rather than an addendum. It is based on Samuelson's doctoral dissertation at Harvard. "Regarded by most economists as providing the mathematical foundations for contemporary economics. more than anyone else he bears responsibility for the mathematical bent of economics in the late 20th century" (Pressman, pp. 162-3). Samuelson demonstrates that the common mathematical structure underlying multiple branches of economics is based on a set of basic principles: the optimizing behaviour of agents and the stability of equilibrium for economic systems.
