A fine association copy, presented from one Nobel Laureate to another, inscribed by the author to the British Nobel Prize winning economist James E. Meade in black ink to the front free endpaper ‘To James Meade With esteem and admiration for your fine contribution. T.W. Schultz, April 1965’.

James Meade (1907-1995), a British economist and president of the Royal Economic Society from 1964-66, jointly received the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1977 for his work on the theory of international trade. Meade was part of the Cambridge Circus, and participated in the renowned Political Economy club in Keynes’s rooms at King’s College, Cambridge. Schultz was awarded the 1979 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences two years after Meade ‘for pioneering research into economic development research with particular consideration of the problems of developing countries’.
