    About PAUL A. SAMUELSON (from Wikipedia):

    ******Paul Anthony Samuelson, b.1915 d.2009, was an American economist who was the first American to win the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. When awarding the prize in 1970, the Swedish Royal Academies stated that he "has done more than any other contemporary economist to raise the level of scientific analysis in economic theory". Economic historian Randall E. Parker has called him the "Father of Modern Economics", and The New York Times considers him to be the "foremost academic economist of the 20th century".******

A solid copy that was studiously read and marked.

    1927 printings of this book are almost impossible to find. Perhaps stockbrokers burned all their copies after the 1929 crash, or took them with them when they jumped!

    An important addition to the shelves of anyone interested in Shareholder Governance, Wall Street, Stocks, Bonds, Business Economics, or Public Finance.

    These volumes are in hand and ready to ship.

    From the Publisher:

    ******The company archives of England and America are rich repositories of original texts on the subject of governance, a selection of which are published here. Two major issues ripped from the headlines, Japan's prolonged economic slump and the recent Enron debacle in the United States, both point to the importance of corporate governance, the mechanisms that stakeholders use to ensure that their investments are properly used and that any sums owed them for the use of their resources are faithfully calculated and promptly paid in full. Corporate governance seeks, in short, the reduction of the principal agent problem within major business firms. The history of corporate governance, like the history of any subject, can help today's businesses in two ways. First, knowledge of the past can help prevent firms and policymakers from repeating past mistakes. Second, history is also rife with examples of how to do things right. Corporate governance in Britain and the United States in the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was far from perfect, yet it was also far from being completely flawed. Anglo-American corporate governance, therefore, offers both warnings and lessons. These volumes offer a unique perspective on this fascinating historical topic. We present a comprehensive selection of texts drawn from the archives of corporations in England and America. Many of these texts are very rare and very few have ever been re-published before. Corporate governance is an interdisciplinary subject of interest to scholars of history, economics, business history and law. In short this edition fits into the library collection of any institution concerned with history or finance.******

Condition: VERY GOOD book, just lightly used and still tight, bright, clean and unmarked; in a GOOD MINUS dustjacket that has several 1" closed edge tears, creasing to the bottom margin, and some soiling, but is bright and still doing its job.
