First edition, first printing, signed and annotated by Oskar Morgenstern (1902-1977), one of Arrow's theoretical inspirations, on the front free endpaper and the title page. Social Choice and Individual Values is the Nobel Prize-winning economist's brilliant doctoral thesis and the source of his famed "impossibility theorum", which has "withstood all technical criticisms and has never been decisively challenged on its own grounds" (Blaug, p. 6). Together with John von Neumann, Oskar Morgenstern created the field of game theory in The Theory of Games and Economic Behaviour (1944). Arrow encountered The Theory of Games while working at the RAND corporation in the late 1940s, and he considers Morgenstern and von Neumann in the early chapters of Social Choice. "Employing the notational system of symbolic logic, at the time unfamiliar to economists, Arrow proposed to solve a question in politics which no economist and few political scientists had ever posed: suppose all individuals can rank all states of the world in order of preference, is it possible to find a voting rule that will always select one of those states as 'most preferred'?" (Blaug, p. 6). Arrow's work was published as number 12 in the series of Cowles Commission Monographs. Mark Blaug, Great Economists before Keynes, 1997. Octavo. Tables and formulas in the text. Original blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt, front cover with series device in gilt. Light rubbing and bumping, slight chipping to several leaves: a very good copy indeed.

First edition, first printing, of the Nobel Prize-winning economist's brilliant doctoral thesis. The work develops Arrow's famed "impossibility theorum", which states that under certain conditions of rationality and equality, no voting system will accurately reflect individual preferences when more than two choices are involved. "Employing the notational system of symbolic logic, at the time unfamiliar to economists, Arrow proposed to solve a question in politics which no economist and few political scientists had ever posed: suppose all individuals can rank all states of the world in order of preference, is it possible to find a voting rule that will always select one of those states as 'most preferred'?" (Blaug, p. 6). Arrow's work was published as number 12 in the series of Cowles Commission Monographs. Provenance: Charles F.
