POUND Ezra
Lavoro ed Usura, Tre Saggi
Very good, some light wear and knocking to corners of front and rear covers, spine beginning to separate from text block at ffep, pages otherwise slightly browned but unblemished.
A compilation in the original Italian of three of Pound’s essays on economics: Gold and Labour , America, Roosevelt and the Causes of the Present War, and An Introduction to the Economic Nature of the United States. Pound’s note facing the title page is illustrative of the essays’ joint obsession: ‘Usury, a charge for the use of purchasing power, levied without regard to production, often without regard even to the possibilities of production’.
