HARCOURT (Geoffrey C.)
Some Cambridge Controversies in the Theory of Capital.
A nice association copy of this classic account of the Cambridge capital controversy, from the library of the distinguished British historian of economic thought Phyllis Deane (1918-2012), with her ownership inscription dated ‘Cambridge 1972’ in blue ink to the front free endpaper.
Harcourt and Deane were personal friends and long-time colleagues at Cambridge. Harcourt wrote a touching Tribute and Memoir upon Deane’s passing in 2012, stating that: ‘It was one of the greatest privileges of my life to have known Phyllis. … Her legacy of fine scholarship and the fond memories of her many friends remain.’
