Oxford, 1939. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. (Oxford: Clarendon Press 1939). First UK Edition. Publisher's original original dark blue cloth (lettered in gilt to the spine) in the original dust wrapper. Contemporary owner signature of economist Weir M. Brown to the front paste-down otherwise a VG+ copy pushed at the base of the spine. The fragile price-clipped VG+ D/W is completely unrestored with a bit of wear, chipping and toning (chiefly to the head and tail of the spine and to the corners) not affecting any lettering and with a couple of minor, imperceptible archival tape repairs to verso. A landmark of modern economics and the author's magnum opus. In the field of pure theory it was probably the most influential book of the first half of the 20th century; Value and Capital provided the springboard from which the brilliant theorists of the next generation would jump off. Overall, Hicks will probably appear in the history of economics as the greatest British theorist of the century (Niehans, 359, 371). Housed in a custom-made clamshell box. A nicer copy than normally seen. Photographs/scans available upon request.
