John Maynard Keynes, How to Pay for the War.

London: Macmillan & Co., [1940]. First edition, first impression, the uncorrected version of Keynes's most successful essay in persuasion, the application of his General Theory to wartime economy. A corrected version, issued in orange printed boards, was published a few months later. Octavo. Original green card boards printed in black. Boards clean and minimally marked. Some mild discolouration and foxing present. Corners straight. Spine slightly browned and rubbed to extremities. Slight chipping to head and tail. Internally in very good condition with ALL pages present, and NO inscriptions or marginalia. Minimal foxing. Pages remain tightly bound. The book has now been placed in a 50-micron sleeve of archival quality to protect it for the future. It can be easily removed if desired.
