FRIEDMAN, MILTON / With the assistance of Rose D. Friedman*. 
*/CAPITALISM AND FREEDOM/*
Chicago, IL, University of Chicago Press 1962, 1st edition. Bound in 
original aquamarine cloth with blocked gilt lettering. 8vo, pp. 202. No 
dust jacket.
¶ "Capitalism and Freedom" was first published in 1962 by The University 
of Chicago Press. A new edition came out in 1982, with a new preface by 
Friedman. It remains a widely influential book, and is somtimes referred 
to as the "bible" of libertarians or economic conservatives. Our copy 
has a discrete ink name of the former owner to the top of the front free 
endpaper. The last three blank endpapers have lightly-pencilled notes 
and comments; as well, there are occasional lightly-pencilled "X" marks, 
or marginal highlighting - all of which could be easily erased. The book 
is in very good condition, otherwise. The spine ends are very slightly 
bumped, and the corner tips of the boards are slightly rubbed. There is 
a touch of soiling to the bottom edge of the text block. The binding is 
strong. There are no additional printings indicated on the copyright 
page. This is the first printing of the first edition.

Price: 850.00
