Original offprint. 4to. [13]- 20 pp. Original green printed wrappers, wire-stitched as issued. A near fine copy. The Review of Economic Studies, Vol. XV, No. 37, 1948.
Inscribed by the author ‘With Richard Kahn’s compliments 15.8.48.’ in blue ink to the front cover. Not identified as such, but from the library of the Nobel Prize winning Cambridge economist Sir Richard Stone.
An important article in which Kahn deals with the Bickerdike-Edgeworth scientific tariff that one country should impose in its own selfish interest when all others are free trade. Kahn’s treatment of the problem would ‘be basic to Villiers Graaff’s systematic (and rather pessimistic) theoretical work on welfare economics’ (New Palgrave).
