Macmillan, 1904 "Bound in green ribbed cloth with gilt spine titles, 290 pp. plus 2 pp ads. Author was a professor of political economy at Harvard. Apparently a rare book with no copies of this currently available and Worldcat listing but one copy. I did find one copy in a dealer catalog from 2016. This a nice copy with a trace of rubbing, a touch of shelf wear, a tiny number in pencil on the front endpaper, and the last several leaves with a slight corner bump.Possibly read once. "Carver's principal achievement in economic theory was to extend Clark's theory of marginalism to determination of interest from saving ('abstinence') and productivity of capital.[4] He made pioneering contributions to agricultural and rural economics and in rural sociology.[3][5] He wrote on such diverse topics as monetary economics,[6] macroeconomics,[7] the distribution of wealth,[8] the problem of evil,[9] uses of religion,[10] political science,[11] political economy,[12] social justice,[13] behavioral economics,[14] social evolution,[15] and the economics of national survival.[16]" [from Wiki]
