First printing of this edition of this classic work. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Israel Kirzner on the half-title page. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by John Grandits. Edited with an introduction by Laurence S. Moss.

In this work, Kirzner explains how the “economic point of view” emerged in the development of economic science since the eighteenth century and through it, the concepts of purpose, subjectivism, and rationality. Kirzner’s incomparable ability to navigate through the core ideas of economics helps the reader become progressively familiar with the history of the discipline and its definition. Within the seven chapters, Kirzner discusses such subjects as the science of wealth and welfare; the nature of economic science and the significance of macroeconomics; and the sciences as human action.
