Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The first book of the next crisis. *Winner of the 2023 Hayek Book Prize* *Longlisted for the 2022 Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award* All economic and financial activities take place across time. Interest coordinates these activities. The story of capitalism is thus the story of interest: the price that individuals, companies and nations pay to borrow money. In The Price of Time, Edward Chancellor traces the history of interest from its origins in ancient Mesopotamia, through debates about usury in Restoration Britain and John Law ' s ill-fated Mississippi scheme, to the global credit booms of the twenty-first century. We generally assume that high interest rates are harmful, but Chancellor argues that, whenever money is too easy, financial markets become unstable. He takes the story to the present day, when interest rates have sunk lower than at any time in the five millennia since they were first recorded - including the extraordinary appearance of negative rates in Europe and Japan - and highlights how this has contributed to profound economic insecurity and financial fragility. Chancellor reveals how extremely low interest rates not only create asset price inflation but are also largely responsible for weak economic growth, rising inequality, zombie companies, elevated debt levels and the pensions crises that have afflicted the West in recent years - conditions under which economies cannot possibly thrive. At the same time, easy money in China has inflated an epic real estate bubble, accompanied by the greatest credit and investment boom in history. As the global financial system edges closer to yet another crisis, Chancellor shows that only by understanding interest can we hope to face the challenges ahead.

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Vivimos en una era en la que estallan burbujas que provocan pérdidas de miles de millones a los inversores. Los economistas sostienen que éstas sólo pueden detectarse una vez han explotado y que los movimientos del mercado son impredecibles. Pero Marathon Asset Management, una firma londinense que gestiona 50. 000 millones de dólares en activos, ha desarrollado un método sencillo para identificar y evitar las burbujas: seguir el rastro de la inversión. Para el inversor, sea grande o pequeño, la clave está en no invertir en sectores en los que el gasto inversor es excesivo y existe una competición feroz, y en su lugar colocar el dinero allí donde las condiciones competitivas son más favorables y, en consecuencia, los retornos de la inversión son más elevados. Este libro, que recoge los análisis del mercado de Marathon Asset Management, que le han permitido lograr grandes retornos en operaciones poco conocidas y al margen de las fuerzas destructivas del ciclo del capital, ofrece claves para comprender y desarrollar la estrategia del ciclo del capital. Y lo hace a partir de ejemplos reales en sectores que van desde fábricas de cerveza hasta la industria de los semiconductores. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Durante las dos primeras décadas del siglo xxi, las tasas de interés se hundieron como nunca antes. El dinero fácil tras la crisis financiera mundial de 2007-2008 ha producido varios efectos negativos, incluida la aparición de múltiples burbujas crediticias, una reducción en el crecimiento de la productividad y una exacerbación de la desigualdad. El historiador financiero Edward Chancellor reconstruye la trayectoria que nos ha llevado hasta aquí. Se remonta hasta el mundo antiguo, cuando la práctica de prestar dinero con intereses no era popular, considerándose un ejercicio de usura, robo y abuso por parte de una clase parasitaria. A medida que el capitalismo se estableció desde finales de la Edad Media, se fue entendiendo mejor que el interés era una recompensa legítima y necesaria para que los prestamistas se desprendieran de su capital, y que cumplía otras muchas otras funciones vitales para el correcto funcionamiento de la economía. Este ensayo, ganador del Premio Hayek al mejor libro de 2023, está inspirado en la convicción de que la reducción artificial de los tipos de interés ha creado muchos de nuestros actuales problemas, incluyendo el resurgimiento del populismo. Esto ocurre porque el dinero fácil y la política monetaria laxa crean distorsiones económicas que desincentivan el ahorro, empujan a los inversores a asumir riesgos excesivos y dificultan la distribución de la renta y la riqueza, perjudicando sobre todo a los más pobres. El precio del tiempo explica que el interés no es exactamente el precio del dinero, sino el valor del dinero en el tiempo. Además, demuestra que dado que todas las actividades económicas tienen lugar en el tiempo, el interés es necesario para dirigir la asignación de capital, valorar las inversiones y equilibrar la oferta y la demanda. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

See the two men's entries in the Oxford DNB. Plain postcard, with stamp printed in red. In fair condition, discoloured and worn. Addressed by Gore to 'W. D. Ross Esq / 6 Charlbery Road / Oxford'. Begins: 'Will you forgive a p. c.? I have no secretary & am rather overwhelmed with applications. You may not know that I did the thing you suggest at the meeting for Oxford House in Magd. Hall last summer. But besides this I must respectfully say that I cannot undertake any more work than I have already on hand up to next Easter. Forgive me. I have the best will. / Charles Gore'. The subject of the letter is presumably the Oxford House Anglican settlement in Bethnal Green.

1p., 12mo. Good, on lightly-aged grey paper. He notes an advertisement for Campbell's 'Lives of the Chief Justices' in that morning's Athenaeum. 'Had I been earlier aware of the preparation of the work it would have afforded me much pleasure in offering for your Lordships acceptance a Copy of the probate Copy Will of the Lord Chief Justice Fitzjames which I have in my collection of M.S.S. &c.' The will is very long and contains 'much curious matter'. Although it may be too late for any notice of the will in Campbell's book, 'yet a copy shall be very much at your Lordships service, should your Lordship desire to possess it'. A postscript reads 'I sometime ago sent a Copy to Mr Foss. [i.e. Edward Foss, author of the 'Judges of England']'.

Zustand: Good. - An autograph document penned in an unknown hand on 1-7/8 inch high by 8-1/4 inch wide parchment paper with clipped corners. A bankruptcy document dated "21st April 1789" reading "Let a Commission issue as prayed and be directed to Samuel Buck Nicholas Smith Esquires Thomas Bolland Charles Coupland and James Nixon Gentlemen", signed "Thurlow" by the British attorney and Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain. Closely cropped with a partial line of text along the top edge. Once likely mounted in an album, there is some soiling with offsetting to the edges of the document from the glue which adhered to the verso. Good. The British lawyer and Tory politician Edward Thurlow, 1st Baron Thurlow (1731-1806) served as Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain from 1778 to 1792. After practicing law, Thurlow had turned to politics in 1768 and was elected Member of Parliament for Tamworth. Appointed Solicitor-General two years later, he was promoted to Attorney General in 1772. He ardently opposed American independence. He was defeated in his attempt to indict the publisher of the "Letters of Junius" Henry Sampson Woodfall for seditious libel when Lord Mansfield issued a verdict of mistrial. Appointed Lord Chancellor by Lord North and he retained the position through the governments led by Lord Rockingham, Lord Shelburne, and subsequently William Pitt the Younger. While in office, he opposed the economic and constitutional reforms proposed by Edmund Burke and John Dunning.

3pp., 4to. Bifolium In good condition, lightly aged. Laid down on the blank reverse of the second leaf is a frank (also signed 'Suffield'), addressed to 'Jn. Richardson Esqr. | Heydon | Aylsham | Norfolk' An excellent letter, containing a splendid assessment of Brougham's qualities, and a vivid reminiscence regarding his predecessor as Lord Chancellor, Lord Eldon. The identity of the book that is the subject of the letter is unclear. Suffield begins by reporting that Brougham has promised Suffield that he will 'attentively consider' Richardson's book. He explains how difficult it is to 'catch Ld. Bs. ear', and describes 'the throng, the busy anxious & generally consequential throng around him', before praising Brougham fulsomely: 'How any man can daily & hourly endure such intensity of thought as some of his duties require, interrupted & distracted as it frequently is by an infinite variety of important questions to be answered on the instant, how any man can endure this & retain his senses is to me wholly incomprehensible. Still he does endure it, his assiduity as a Judge, as my friend Docr. Lushington told me the other day, will if he continue it, kill half the profession, & in spite of all this he reads more than any of us. Books pamphlets & newspapers he has read them all, he has even by this time I dare say read your scheme, his attention being called to it by the letter which I put into his hands. You shall hear from me again when I have again an opportunity of speaking to this extraordinary personage, & that opportunity I will make after allowing him a reasonable time to have read & considered your book,' He concludes with a reminiscence of 'old Chancellor Eldon', 'an agreeable man' with whom Suffield had 'only a slight acquaintance, yet during a dull debate I used to sit by him on the Woolsack, take snuff & chat with him pleasantly on any subject that occurred to me'. Returning to Brougham he states that he has 'long been in habits of intimacy' with 'the present Chancellor', yet he has 'not conversed with him five times, & then only on business of importance, since he came into office': 'I mention these things in order to convey to you some idea of the man we have to deal with, & to account for my not having sooner urged your book upon his immediate attention, I mean your last edition'.
