London: John Murray, 1820. First edition. vi, 601 pp. 1 vols. 8vo (219 x 132 mm.). Bound in later half cloth and marbled boards, paper label. Very good. First edition. vi, 601 pp. 1 vols. 8vo (219 x 132 mm.). First edition of this important classic of economic theory. "There can be no doubt that [Malthus'] importance for economists today rests mainly on his Principles of Political Economy. It was because of this latter work that J. M. Keynes (1933) reinstated Malthus as a major figure in modern economic thought" (New Palgrave). "One of the founders of modern economics," Malthus was credited by Keynes with framing the theory "that a lack of effective demand can cause economic crises" (PMM 251). "In his Principles of Political Economy, Malthus was proposing investment in public works and private luxury as a means of increasing effective demand, and hence as a palliative to economic distress. The nation, he thought, must balance the power to produce and the will to consume" (DSB IX:70). Einaudi 3680; Goldsmith 22767; Kress C-577; Schumpeter, pp. 482-83

Clean, unmarked pages. Marginal browning to pages. Internally very good. <br> The first English edition was printed by John Murray in 1820, this is the 1st American edition printed in 1821 in Boston.J.M. Keynes "argued that Malthus's theory of effective demand provided a scientific explanation of unemployment, and that the hundred-year domination of Ricardo over Malthus had been a disaster for the progress of economics. Keynes believed that if economics had followed Malthus ... the world would be a much wiser and richer place" (ODNB). The last chapter of the book was devoted to rebutting Say's law, and argued that the economy could stagnate with a lack of "effectual demand". In other words, wages if less than the total costs of production cannot purchase the total…

Description:
London: William Pickering, 1836., 1836. 8vo. pp. liv, [1 leaf], 446. untrimmed & partly unopened in original cloth (spine dull & frayed at ends, label chipped). Second Enlarged Edition of Malthus's chief contribution to general economic theory, in which he explains in particular his differences with Ricardo. ".Ricardo's work.started with the Wealth of Nations and recoined the latter's theoretical contents by a method that centered in the concept of value. Exactly the same thing is evidently true of the work of Malthus.Except for his theory of saving and investment, which on the face of it seems to be Malthus's own, all the elements that enter into the analytic apparatus of that work, and even its terminological arrangements, point to the First Book of the Wealth of Nations. Only, whereas Richardo recoined the doctrine of the Wealth by means of the labor-quantity theory of value, Malthus recoined it by the means of the theory of value that A.Smith actually used, namely, the…
