This well-loved copy of “Price Theory and Applications” by Jack Hirshleifer bears the marks of a life spent in academic libraries, where its insights on microeconomic theory were studied and debated by generations of students. Hirshleifer, a pioneering economist at UCLA, revolutionized the field with his application of game theory and information economics to price theory. First published in 1976, this seminal work remains a cornerstone text for understanding how markets function and prices are determined. While the wear and highlighting speak to its popularity as a teaching tool, this ex-library copy also represents a piece of intellectual history. Hirshleifer’s innovative approach, combining mathematical rigor with real-world applications, paved the way for modern microeconomic analysis. For collectors and scholars alike, this volume offers a window into the evolution of economic thought and the enduring legacy of a brilliant mind.
