First edition in English. Two volumes. 8vo. 472; 419, [1] pp. Original green cloth, spines lettered in gilt, top edges in green, dust jackets (some very light foxing to prelims of both volumes, cloth a touch faded at tips of spines, spine panels of jackets faintly toned, otherwise an excellent, near fine set). London, George Allen & Unwin Ltd.

One of the seminal books of twentieth century economic history: “a pioneering effort to delineate the major themes of economic ideas and policy in Western Europe during some four or five centuries” (Coats, 1957). “The outstanding historical study of mercantilism in all its phases” (Blaug, 1986). The work first appeared in Swedish in 1931; this translation was prepared from the German edition and revised by the author. The first English edition is scarce in commerce, especially in jackets.
