‎London Archibald Constable and Co 1818. 8vo. Bound uncut in a nice recent half calf binding with five raised bands with gilt lettering and ornamentation to spine. A very nice and clean copy. 6 I-LXXIV 2 439 1 pp. � First appearance of Well's important work which constitutes the first clear pioneering statement about natural selection. He applied the idea to the origin of different skin colours in human races but from the context it seems he thought it might be applied more widely. Charles Darwin said: "Wells distinctly recognises the principle of natural selection and this is the first recognition which has been indicated". Darwin Charles 1866. The origin of species by means of natural selection. 4th and subsequent editions in the preliminary 'Historical sketch'<br><br>In 1813 Wells read a paper to the Royal Society of London occasioned by a white female patient with splotches of dark skin. In his paper Wells speculated about the origin of skin color variations in humans. He suggested that long ago there might have arisen in equatorial regions a variety of humans that were better able to resist diseases such as malaria perhaps aided by darker skin and they survived where other variations perished. Similarly lighter-skinned humans might have been variations that were better able to survive in temperate and arctic regions.<br><br>"Wells' paper was not printed in the Philosophical Transactions but after he died in 1817 two of his treatises "On Single vision with Two Eyes" and "On Dew" were published posthumously and Wells' brief "Account of a white female part of whose skin resembles that of a negro" was added on at the very end. No one noticed certainly not Charles Darwin who was 9 years old at the time.<br>Time went by Darwin discovered natural selection on his own in the late 1830s and he sprang it on the world in On the Origin of Species in 1859. During the year after publication various readers noticed that certain aspects of Darwinian evolution had been anticipated by such naturalists as �tienne Geoffroy St. Hilaire Patrick Matthew and the anonymous author of the Vestiges. So in 1861 for the third edition of the Origin Darwin added an "Historical Sketch" in which he discussed his precursors and to what extent they anticipated his own work third image. Geoffroy St. Hilaire Matthew and the Vestiges all merited a paragraph in the "Historical Sketch." But there was still no mention of William Wells.<br>Then sometime before 1866 an American Robert Rowley drew the attention of an Englishman Charles Loring Brace to Wells' paper and Rowley conveyed the information to Darwin. Darwin was apparently impressed. For the fifth edition of the Origin he revised the "Historical Sketch" and he added a paragraph about Wells in which he commented: "In this paper he Wells distinctly recognises the principle of natural selection and this is the first recognition which has been indicated." Darwin also pointed out quite correctly that Wells used natural selection only to account for human races not to explain the origin of species. But still Wells was the only precursor of natural selection that Darwin took seriously." William B. Ashworth Linda Hall Library hardcover‎

‎Weimar : VDG 2001. 353 S. ; 24 cm kart., Softcover/Paperback, Exemplar in sehr gutem Erhaltungszustand‎

‎Zwar gibt es eine Fülle grundlegender Werke über das Scheitern der Weimarer Republik und den Nationalsozialismus, aber die theoretische Entwicklung des nationalen Sozialismus (als der Zusammenführung der zunächst völlig konträren Elemente Sozialismus und Nationalismus) war bislang nicht grundlegend behandelt worden ? eine Lücke, die durch diese ?überaus lesenswerte Studie? (Karl Dietrich Bracher) über die deutsche Ideologiediskussion nach 1918 geschlossen wird, die inzwischen den Rang eines Standardwerkes erreicht hat. Der Autor analysiert die zentralen Vertreter Friedrich Naumann, Oswald Spengler, Ferdinand Tönnies, Walther Rathenau, Wichard von Moellendorff, Arthur Moeller van den Bruck, Ernst Niekisch, den Tatkreis, Ernst Jünger und Werner Sombart. Er zeigt die Bezüge und Verbindungen zwischen ihnen und schließlich den Nationalsozialismus als Hauptanwendungsfall dieser für Deutschland neuen ideologischen Synthese. Dabei wird auch deutlich, daß die Publizisten des nationalen Sozialismus durchaus eigenständig ihre Modelle aus der deutschen und preußischen Vergangenheit ableiten und keineswegs Hitlers NS-Staat als angestrebtes Modell vor Augen hatten.

‎WIESER FRIEDRICH VON. THE FIRST FULLY DEVELOPED THEORY OF VALUE‎

‎Der Nat�rliche Werth.‎

‎Wien Alfred H�lder 1889. 8vo. Uncut in the original printed yellow wrappers. Light soiling and a few minor nicks to extremities. A very fine and clean copy. XVI 239 pp. � First edition rarely seen in the original wrappers of this important work in which Wieser attempts to apply marginal utility analysis to the determination of cost thus for the first time fully develops a theory of value. The work "ranks high as an original achievement" and is one of the very earliest to realize the information value of prizes.<br><br>"It was only with Friedrich von Wieser's book the present that an attempt was made to fill the lacuna left by Menger and B�hm-Bawerk. Wieser makes it clear that without a solution to the problem of 'imputation' the new theory would remain incomplete and would be subjected to the widespread criticism that it cannot deal with production. The problem is posed as follows" 'The statement that the productive goods receive their value from the value of their produce suffices only to evaluate sch�tzen the collaborating factors of production as a whole but not separately. In order to be able to do also this a rule is needed which allows one to apportion the total produce in detail.'Wieser 1889." Steedman Socialism & Marginalism in Economics 1870 - 1930. <br><br>"Here he continued to work on the same problems and also on what he regarded merely as a first step toward a theory of value that was to be fully developed in the present work. He employed the expository device of studying value in a centrally directed economy and suggested possible applications of utility theory to public finance. The book gained him almost immediate acclaim and it was soon translated into English" Frederich von Hayek in IESS.<br><br>"in the present work he worked out the Austrian theories of cost and distribution he coined the phrase 'Zurechnung' imputation which Menger had not more than sketched and this work must in spite of the latter fact and also in spite of glaring faults of technique rank high as an original achievement. Schumpeter History of Economic Analysis<br><br>"In this work he applied the marginal utility theory not only horizontally i.e. to trading and exchange but also vertically i.e. to production processes. He defined the value of higher goods produced alongside them thus developing his imputation theory. Wieser who possessed a certain "obsession with compulsive computability" is recognized as one of the first economist to realize the information value of prices."
