KEYNES (John Maynard).
A Treatise on Money. Volume I: The Pure Theory of Money. Volume II: The Applied Theory of Money.
The first of Keynes’s two main contributions to economic theory and his most comprehensive work on monetary theory. A Treatise on Money anticipated many of the ideas set forth in the General Theory, but differed from the latter in important aspects of its focus, paying closer attention to the theory of price levels rather than levels of output and employment.
A married set: Vol. 1 with contemporary gift inscription to ‘W.S. Evans by the Students of Derbyshire miners Welfare Education Committee’s Economics Class’, otherwise internally clean; Vol. 2 with two ownership inscriptions on pieces of tape pasted to front endpapers, heavy pencilled underlings and marginal annotations occasionally throughout, extensive ink annotations to rear endpaper in an early hand; light shelf wear to extremities, small amount of white flecking to spine Vol. 1, still a good copy overall.
