A Treatise on Money. by KEYNES, John Maynard - 1930: In Two Volumes.

London: Macmillan and Co., Limited,, 1930. 2 volumes, octavo. Original blue cloth, titles to spine gilt, double line rules in blind to front boards continued in gilt to spines. With the dust jackets. Small chip to spine of dust jacket to volume two with loss of a few letters, head and foot of spines also a little chipped; pencil side-ruling to one leaf and marginal note to another, else a very good, clean set. First edition, first impression of the first of Keynes's major contributions to economic theory, rare with the dust jackets. A Treatise on Money is the first of Keynes's two major contributions to economic theory and his most comprehensive work on monetary theory. It anticipates many of the ideas of the General Theory, which it immediately preceded and by which it has been, perhaps unfairly, overshadowed.
