Sobre este item
Manchester: Alexr., Ireland and co., W. H. Smith and Son, and J. Ridgeway, London; Adam and Charles Black, Edinburgh,, 1859. First edition in English, following publication in French in the Revue des deux Mondes in 1857. Chevalier's work discusses the nature of money, the prospects for gold production, and the consequences of a fall in the value of gold. Cobden and Chevalier met each other by chance in 1859, leading not only to Cobden's translation of the work, but also the conception of the Anglo-French Cobden-Chevalier Treaty, passed the following year, which introduced a period of free trade into France's otherwise steadfastly protectionist economy. Octavo. Original pink cloth, spine lettered in gilt, decorated in blind, light yellow endpapers. Spine lightly sunned, worn, rear hinge split, some foxing. A good copy. Einaudi 1058.
