RICARDO, David (1772-1823). Nachala politicheskoi ekonomii [Principles of Political Economy]. Moscow: K.T Soldatenkov, 1895. Rare first separate edition in Russian of this landmark in the history of political economy, translated by N.V. Fabrikant. The book was first published in English in 1817. In Russia, Nikolai Sieber had produced a translation as vol. 1 of the Works in 1873, in only 500 copies. Ricardo’s rigorous, deductive approach based on quantitative data contributed enormously to the emerging of economics as a specific field of enquiry. It is likely that it was the methodological value of this work which prompted this edition: ‘between the second half of the 1890’s and the end of the 1920’s a group of Russian and German scholars set up an original programme of research characterized by the application of mathematical method to the theory of prices in a classical political economy framework’ (Marchionatti-Fiorini 2000). Rare in institutions (apparently microform only outside Russia) and at auction (no records in ABPC/RBH). Carpenter XXXVII, (1); Not in Einaudi or Mattioli; see PMM 277; Sraffa p. 381. Octavo (197 x 132mm). With portrait frontispiece and errata leaf (lightly toned, marginal loss to errata leaf). Contemporary quarter sheep, cloth boards (spine rubbed).
