"Communist plotters, in the United States as elsewhere, are preparing for the conquest of political power. The discerning student, however, should consider how interventionism, under various enticing labels, is setting the stage for the final overthrow of the voluntary society, the market economy and constitutional government.

It will help to explain the errors of those who believe a system based on individual freedom can be 'mixed' with socialism." - Foreword. Book clean and unmarked with moderate wear. Binding tight.

Menger, Carl; Knight, Frank H.[Introduction]; Dingwall, James; Hoselitz, Bert F.[Editors/Translators]
Principles of Economics - First, General Part
"Ranks with Smith's Wealth of Nations, Ricardo's Principles, Marx's Capital, Marshall's Principles, and Keynes' General Theory, as one of the six most important books ever written in its influence upon the development of modern economic theory. Menger's influence was not, however, confined to theoretical economics. The Austrian School of which he was the founder, was a fountainhead of classical liberalism in the European continent. The ideas of the school and its founder are, therefore, relevant to the modern debate between socialism and liberalism. Since many of the staunchest modern advocates of laissez faire, such as L.M. Mises and F.A.V. Hayek, find their intellectual roots in Menger's Principles, the translation of his work is of interest to those concerned about the relations between government and business as well as to economic theorists." - dust jacket. The long overdue first English edition of the 1871 German first edition. Menger [1840-1921] "attacked the half-decayed fabric of economics and is to be ranked among those who have torn down the structure of a science and placed it upon entirely new foundations." - Joseph Schumpeter. "Menger's Principles are the best introduction to the understanding of the theory of value which we possess." - F.A. Hayek. Former library copy with usual markings and moderate wear to original black cloth lettered in silver. Above-average wear to undulating dust jacket which is patched on spine and now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. A sound copy of this economic tour de force. Fundaburk 9739, Hutchinson 347, Hazlitt p.115, Blaug p.160-162, Pressman p.89-94. Book

PIER PAOLA PENZO
PARIGI DOPO HAUSSMANN Urbanistica e politica alla fine dell'Ottocento
ALINEA 1990 240 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO, VOLUME INTONSO, MAI SFOGLIATO, PERFETTO. Nel luglio del 1871 a Parigi fu eletto, per la prima volta a suffragio universale, il consiglio comunale. Si trattava di una significativa riforma della nuova repubblica, che tuttavia non comportava un'autonomia amministrativa per la città. Al contrario, il governo centrale mantenne uno stretto controllo su Parigi attraverso forme diverse, e soprattutto attraverso il suo rappresentante: il prefetto. La municipalità era però decisa ad affermare la propria libertà d'azione. E proprio il settore urbanistico si configurò come terreno di scontro e, a seconda della congiuntura, di mediazione del conflitto fra governo e potere locale. Il consiglio comunale si propose il rinnovamento della gestione amministrativa e individuò nell'urbanistica il principale campo di applicazione dei nuovi principi gestionali. Nei decenni precedenti, nel corso del Secondo Impero, il prefetto Haussmann aveva progettato e realizzato profonde trasformazioni nella struttura urbana della città. Con la Terza Repubblica il consiglio comunale cittadino lasciò tracce meno sorprendenti sul paesaggio urbano e talvolta operò in modo subalterno rispetto ai piani del Secondo Impero; ma seppe formulare un quadro normativo che disciplinò con maggior precisione la progettazione urbana. L'intervento urbanistico perse progressivamente ogni carattere episodico ed eccezionale. Lentamente, e attraverso un processo non sempre lineare, fu superato il culte de l'axe. Ad una tendenza che privilegiava le trasformazioni dell'impianto stradale fu sostituita un'impostazione che poneva l'accento sulle infrastrutture di servizio. Nel contempo maturò una concezione dei servizi urbani, che prefigurava un diverso rapporto fra potere pubblico e settore privato; e trovò legittimità il principio della municipalizzazione, che anticipava la corrente del municipalismo. PIER PAOLA PENZO è ricercatrice presso il Dipartimento di Arti Visive dell' università di Bologna e si occupa di storia dell'urbanistica nell'età contemporanea. Ha compiuto soggiorni di studio all'Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales di Parigi e alla Boston University. Nella sua attività di ricerca ha esaminato soprattutto gli aspetti di storia politica e amministrativa che hanno concorso alle trasformazioni urbane affrontando temi quali la periferia ottocentesca, lo sviluppo dei trasporti urbani in Europa e negli Stati Uniti, la storia della pianificazione regionale, il rapporto fra potere pubblico ed iniziativa privata nel settore edilizio, Ha pubblicato saggi in varie riviste specializzate, fra cui "Parametro", "Urbanistica", "Storia Urbana".
