COURNOT, ANTOINE AUGUSTIN (1801-1877)

Revue sommaire des doctrines economiques.

Paris, Hachette et Cie. 1877. Small 8vo. [IV],VIII,339p. Contemp. half green calf, gilt back in compartments, marbled sides and endpapers. Fine engraved bookplate of Emmanuel Junod to front paste-down. Small piece of one leaf torn but holding. A nice copy. First edition. A review of recent developments in economic theory, written in reply to criticisms made against the author that he had failed taking into account what had been published since the publication of his own seminal work in mathematical economics, the Recherches sur les principes mathematiques de la theorie des richesses of 1838. The lack of recognition for that book had brought him to express his theory again, now in non-mathematical terms, in 1863 in the Principes de la theorie des richesses, but this also met with little attention. In the preface to the present book Cournot utters his disappointment by the lamentation that 'the poor author who is not quoted by any one in the official world of the French economists now is reproached for having not quoted enough the others'. It was published in the year of his death.
