5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest books September 4, 2011

By Philippe Waechter

Format:Paperback

Probably one the greatest books in economics. A lot of concepts we, economists, use every day come from this book. Not a lot to comment, but my recommandation is read it, just read it and economic theory will have a new flavor..

5.0 out of 5 stars the work by john r hick is invaluable September 30, 2011

i received the precious book above with great pleasure since i had already read the chinese version of it,the translation was translated by one of my college professor in china.And during the 1990s i even wrote to the author to see if he has any spare copy of the book,value and capital,mr hicks was kind enough to me by sending me a selected papers i/o the book,as he said,he was pleased to know any person in china still interested in his books.and in 1940 another person from chongqing wrote to him. so the book is a good memeory for me to the dear professor hicks.and now, i would say the book was carefully preserved ,only some minor crossing in the book.
the seller is very kind to have the book covered with great care.
thank you.
