1925rif. 510267Duncker & Humboldt 1925. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. VERY GOOD. Personal copy of political theorist Hans Morgenthau with his neat marginal pencilling and newsprint placemarkers. 8vo half black cloth over green marbled boards gilt stamped spine lettering and printer's device to front cover. With publisher's original plain brown dust jacket quite brittle and tattered; original plain slipcase present in a tattered state as well. Provenance: From Hans Morgenthau's daughter Susanna Morgenthau. The penciling matches that of the dozens of other books we have cataloged from his library. The Catholic jurist and political philosopher Carl Schmitt was one of the most influential political thinkers of the 20th Century in no small part for his role in establishing the ideological underpinnings of the Third Reich. He was unavoidably a key interlocutor for all German political scholars of the Weimar Era including Hans Morgenthau who would go on to become one of the most influential political thinkers of the 20th century in his own right from a much different but related vantage point.William Scheuerman writes 'the young Hans Morgenthau was involved in an intense 'hidden dialogue' with Carl Schmitt twentieth-century Germany’s most significant right-wing authoritarian political thinker.' 'Although committed to a sociologically minded analysis of international law shaped by left-wing Weimar legal thought the young Morgenthau turned early on to the work of the right-wing authoritarian thinker Carl Schmitt in order to develop his realistic or sociological approach. Morgenthau's precocious fascination with Schmitt though at first glance surprising is by no means difficult to fathom. Other members of the Sinzheimer School - including Ernst Frankel and Franz Neumann - similarly pursued a close and at times surprisingly sympathetic examination of Schmitt's work during the 1930s. Like Morgenthau they vociferously criticized his extreme right-wing political preferences while acknowledging that Schmitt offered the outlines of a realistic i.e. power-oriented vision of politics too often missing from mainstream jurisprudence and legal positivism. Morgenthau's early writings highlighted deep flaws in Schmitt's thinking not only denouncing his political choices but ultimately describing his theory as fundamentally unsound. Yet he credited Schmitt with acknowledging the need for precisely that realistic account of power relations in the international arena which legal orthodoxy had failed to deliver. Like Morgenthau Schmitt had long been skeptical of mainstream international law which he analogously interpreted as veiling the brutal realities of inequality at the international level. Morgenthau initially appears to have identified Schmitt's theory despite its weaknesses and troublesome political orientation as a potentially useful source of insights for his own alternative theory of international law. Morgenthau's first mention of Schmitt in 1929 . offered a critical response to a widely read 1927 essay by Schmitt in which the right-wing theorist had defined the political as constituting a fundamentally distinct and independent sphere of activity existing alongside alternative modes of human activity. In Schmitt's initial formulation morality concerned the problem of good and bad aesthetics was occupied with the distinction between beautiful and ugly economics was preoccupied with profitability and unprofitability whereas only politics concerned the contrast between what Schmitt famously described as friend and foe. The young Morgenthau astutely diagnosed the Achilles' heel of this position: Schmitt's exposition misleadingly implied that political activity was limited to a pre-given set of objects or concerns thereby obscuring the possibility that any conceivable sphere of activity could take on political qualities. In its stead Morgenthau proposed that politics be described as 'a characteristic quality or coloration which any substance can take on' IRWG 67. The distinctive attribute of political activity was captured best by focusing on the degree of intensity of the conflict at hand. Although drawing their substantive concerns from any of a host of moral aesthetic and economic arenas of human activity identifiably political concerns were those in which a high degree of intensity of conflict had surfaced IRWG 69. Even though he admitted the difficulty of determining at what specific juncture a particular conflict had become intense and thus authentically political Morgenthau insisted that his alternative model of intensity offered a superior way of capturing the distinctive traits of political life. In his view politics was never an either/or state of affairs but always a matter of degree necessarily depending on how intense - and potentially violent - a conflict had become. Schmitt apparently agreed. As Morgenthau noted in his 1978 autobiographical reflections Schmitt subsequently 'changed the second 1932 edition of the Concept of the Political in the light of the new propositions of my thesis without lifting the veil of anonymity from their author.'47 In fact Schmitt's 1932 study dropped the misleading imagery of politics as a distinct or separate sphere instead following Morgenthau's conceptualization of politics as concerning conflicts characterized by intense enmity. Yet Schmitt never bothered to acknowledge his debts to the young left-leaning Jewish Morgenthau. For a politically upwardly mobile right-wing thinker busy cultivating influence with Germany's rising authoritarian political groupings such an admission would have been incon-venient. In his 1978 comments Morgenthau went so far as to accuse Schmitt of having engaged in mean-spirited plagiarism. He recounted a humiliating 1929 meeting with Schmitt in which Morgenthau hoped to discuss their shared interest in the political only to encounter a calculating mean-spirited careerist: 'when I walked down the stairs from Schmitt's apartment I stopped on the landing between his and the next floor and said to myself: 'Now I have met the most evil man alive.' Schmitt's subsequent kowtowing to the Nazis apparently did not take Morgenthau by surprise.' Morgenthau: Key Contemporary Thinkers 32-34. Duncker & Humboldt hardcover

1945rif. 140948892New York and London: Harper & Brothers 1945. First Edition. Near Fine/Near Fine. First edition first printing. A remarkable association copy not only signed by author Henry Morgenthau on the front free endpaper and inscribed to the then-President of the book's publisher known for picking Pulitzer Prize winners: "For Cass Canfield a swell Publisher with sincere affection." Additionally it is signed in pencil on the book's title page by one its primary ghostwriters government official Harry Dexter White with Morgenthau's name suggestively crossed-out. As White's biographer David Rees put it "White was now to supervise the writing of a book by Treasury staff explaining the Morgenthau Plan eventually published a year later under Morgenthau's name as Germany is Our Problem." Morgenthau himself acknowledged White's role in the signed copy he gave White in 1945 cited in James Boughton's Harry White and the American Creed. In 1948 a handwritten note by White to Whittaker Chambers would embroil him in a covert hunt for Soviet moles within the U.S. government. He died that year but five years later his face would grace newspapers all over the world as he was accused of being a spy for the Soviet Union connected to the network of Nathan Silvermaster. His degree of culpability remains debated to this day although release of the Venona decrypts provided damning evidence. The posthumous nature of White's notoriety has meant that his signature is extremely rare especially on books rather than documents. viii 4 ix - xiii iii 239 pp. foldout map printed on speckled wartime paper. Bound in publisher's navy cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Near Fine light rubbing to extremities dulled gilt and dust jacket clipping tipped to front pastedown. In a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with lightly worn with a few small tape repairs to verso. Uncommon especially in such nice shape. The book outlines what would become known as The Morgenthau Plan for postwar Germany. The U.S. Secretary of the Treasury called for the defeated enemy's radical total deindustrialization decentralization and transformation into a pastoral society. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt regretted his initial support for Morgenthau's plan after it was vigorously decried at home and abroad and his successor favored the less vengeful and more pragmatic Marshall Plan. White's role in formulating the plan that would bear his superior at the Treasury Department's name remains little-known as it itself has fallen into obscurity since the early Cold War. Less controversial was White's role in co-founding both the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. Harper & Brothers unknown books

Rare. The controversial plan for Germany post-WWII first announced by US Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau in 1944 which called for the immediate total deindustrialization of the country with a focus on extracting reparations for its wrongdoings during the war as well as its forced political and economic decentralization and transformation into a pastoral society. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt OK'd it only to regret it when the plan was vigorously decried at home and abroad. The Marshall Plan was adopted instead under Truman and efforts to deindustrialize and decartelize the Germany economy were limited. Harper & Brothers, Publishers unknown books
