Prior owner's small initials (E.D.J.) and date inked atop first blank leaf. pp. [v], vi-xlv, [2], 2-431. Index. Translated from the German. "While it would be bold to affirm that Professor Böhm-Bawerk [1851-1914] has said the last word on the theory of Interest, his book must be regarded as one with which all subsequent writers will have to reckon." - Translator's Preface. Of the first edition, at p.22 Batson wrote "The first large treatise produced by the Austrian School, and although it is not so comprehensive as that since published by Wieser, it leaves very few parts of economic theory unillumined." Schumpeter "regarded Böhm-Bawerk as one of the 'great masters' in economics." - Swedberg p.14. Moderate wear to publisher's pebbled brown cloth. Bright gilt lettering upon backstrip.
