First Edition; A Near Fine book in a Good or better dust jacket. A handsome copy of this work on the problem of Scientism in the social sciences from the Nobel Prize winning economist; an uncommon title. This volume is in near fine condition with only light age-toning to the pages and faint soiling to the exterior text block; housed in a good or better dust jacket that shows moderate rubbing and chipping to the spine ends and edges, a PO signature to the front free paper, and a long tear to the rear flap fold, else clean and bright. Overall, a presentable and collectible copy; Not remaindered, not price clipped, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar sleeve and will ship carefully wrapped in a sturdy box.
