The first English translation of Wicksell’s Lectures on Political Economy, originally published in Swedish in 1901 and 1906. The present set are mixed editions, with the first volume being the third impression and the second volume in the first edition, both retaining the rare original dust jackets.

The first volume was ‘an expansion and improvement, especially in capital theory, over what he had previously presented in Value, Capital, and Rent.’ The Lectures II, ‘in part an expansion, and revision of what he had put forth in Interest and prices, was much more than that. They were epoch-making less for their particular findings than for the broad framework and methodology they provided for analysis of money and credit’ (New Palgrave).
