Erstausgabe
First edition of Knight's classic treatise. Octavo, bound in full morocco, gilt titles to the spine, raised bands, gilt ruled to the front and rear panels, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. In near fine condition. First editions are scarce. In economics, "Knightian uncertainty" is risk that is immeasurable, impossible to calculate. Knightian uncertainty is named after University of Chicago economist Frank Knight (1885-1972), who distinguished risk and uncertainty in his work "Risk, Uncertainty, and Profit": "Uncertainty must be taken in a sense radically distinct from the familiar notion of Risk, from which it has never been properly separated. The essential fact is that 'risk' means in some cases a quantity susceptible of measurement, while at other times it is something distinctly not of this character; and there are far-reaching and crucial differences in the bearings of the phenomena depending on which of the two is really present and operating. It will appear that a measurable uncertainty, or 'risk' proper, as we shall use the term, is so far different from an unmeasurable one that it is not in effect an uncertainty at all.".

First edition, presentation copy, boldly inscribed in ink to the front free endpaper: "To my Chief, Dr. C. A. Phillips, With sincere regards. Frank H. Knight." C. A. Phillips was the first dean of the College of Commerce at Iowa State University, where Knight taught between 1919 and 1927 Risk, Uncertainty and Profit was Knight's first major work, originally written as a doctoral dissertation at Cornell in 1916, under the title "A Theory of Business Profit". After significant revision, it was published in 1921 as "Risk, Uncertaintly and Profit", by which time Knight was associate professor of economics in the State University of Iowa. It is "the first work of any importance, and in any field of study, that deals explicitly with decision-making under conditions of uncertainty" (Bernstein, p. 219). It is in the present work that "the famous Knightian curves of diminishing returns. made their first appearance, and the essence of the theory of the dominant firm was now mentioned" (Stigler). Published as volume XXXI of the series of Hart, Schaffner & Marx prize essays (Knight's came second), Knight here "attempts to analyse 'the problem of the contrast between perfect competition and actual competition' and finds it necessary in the pursuit of this aim to cover a far wider field than is suggested by the title or preface. It would, in fact, be difficult to discover a better short statement of pure economic theory" (Batson). A scarce title, especially inscribed. Batson, p. 27; Sraffa 3064. Octavo. Original red pebbled cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Spine ends and corners lightly rubbed, small indentation to spine, boards splash marked in places. Endpapers a little browned, as usual, short tear to foot of front free endpaper in the gutter; a very good copy with an excellent association.

First edition, the author's copy, presentation copy, inscribed to fellow economist George Stigler, "To George Stigler May 27, 1963, F.H.K.", and additionally signed by Knight on the front pastedown. This copy bears autograph pencil changes to three pages (53, 101, 152): two use proofreading symbols to insert and delete phrases, one corrects a reference to a figure in the text, another a spelling error in an author's name ("Mills" corrected to "Mill"). A further fifteen openings carrying marginal pencil side-rules and underlining to the text. Following his master's degree at Northwestern University, George Stigler moved to Chicago in 1933 to work on his dissertation under Knight's supervision at the University of Chicago. The thesis was completed in 1938 and published in 1941 under the title Production and Distribution Theories. In a memoir entitled Frank Knight as Teacher (Journal of Political Economy, 1973) Stigler observed that "he was so generous with time and knowledge that some dissertations - I have my own in mind - ought at a minimum to have listed a collaborator". Stigler remained in contact with Knight after his retirement, and contributed a preface to the Chicago reprint of Risk, Uncertainty and Profit. This copy has passed by descent to the present owner. Risk, Uncertainty and Profit is Knight's first major work, written as a doctoral dissertation at Cornell in 1916. In it Knight advances Richard Cantillon's early treatment of risk in the 1755 Essay of the Nature of Commerce, setting forth the two ideas for which he is best known; firstly, the distinction which can be made between economic risk and uncertainty and, secondly, the location of the source of 'profit' in the returns from exposure of business activities to uncertainty. Knight's argument concluded that "profits could arise only in an economy where the future was not known with certainty" (Rubinstein, p. 51). Risk, Uncertainty and Profit is acknowledged to be a classic and groundbreaking work of economics. Peter Bernstein judged it "the first work of any importance, and in any field of study, that deals explicitly with decision-making under conditions of uncertainty" (p. 219), and Harold Batson suggests that "it would, in fact, be difficult to discover a better short statement of pure economic theory" (p. 27). Batson, p. 27. See Peter Bernstein, Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk (1996); Mark Rubinstein, A History of the Theory of Investments (2006). Octavo (202 x 126 mm). Original red cloth, spine lettered gilt. Spine ends lightly rubbed, endpapers toned; a very good copy.

FIRST ENGLISH EDITION, one page of new Preface with pencil question-mark to margin, pp. xl, 381, 8vo, original buff wrappers with printed labels to front and backstrip, that to latter with a chip at one corner, both browned, a few light spots and handling marks, light reading creases to spine, a faintly visible (but not legible) pencil note at head of front, the edges slightly browned, good. A scarce book, particularly so in its original binding of plain wrappers (consistent with other titles in the series), adding a substantial Preface by the author (25pp.) to his original edition of 1921. Knight's major work, assessing the relation of the three terms in its title, based on his doctoral thesis at Cornell University - but here reflected on in maturity, as an established leader of the 'Chicago School'.
