‎One of the at least seven different issues of the 12mo edition, published same year as the first edition (in 4to), in which Vauban proposed a comprehensive tax reform plan for France. The central idea was to replace the existing tax system, which heavily burdened the lower classes while exempting the nobility and clergy, with a single tax on income and property that would be fairly distributed among all citizens, regardless of social status. Schumpeter called the work 'unsurpassed, before or after, in the neatness and cogency of the argument. Purposeful marshalling of all the available data was the essence of his analysis. Nobody ever understood better the true relation between facts and argument. It is this that makes him an economic classic in the eulogistic sense of the work, and a forerunner of modern tendencies' (Schumpeter, History of Economic analysis, p. 204). 'an erudite economic work much in advance of its time, and distinguished both by accuracy of method and breadth of view' (Palgrave), 'creditable alike to the heart and the head of its illustrious author' (McCulloch). 'Though the book was published anonymously, and only a few copies issued (for circulation among friends), Vauban had to submit to the mortification of seeing it 'pilloried' by the parliament, while he himself incurred the displeasure of the king (Louis XIV).' (Palgrave). ‎

‎Two scarce offprints of Veblen's important publications on the theory of capital. Here Veblen broadens the concept of capital to include the capital of knowledge. Thus, Veblen's theory laid ""the foundation for a system of property rights created to enable individuals to productively utilize knowledge that resides within the community as a whole"" (Niman, Henry George and the Development of Thorstein Veblen's Theory of Capital). ""The foundation of Veblen's theory of capital is rooted in the special position knowledge holds in society. Knowledge forms the basis for the productive use of natural resources and is a community asset that, at its most fundamental level, is not owned by a single individual. Thus, Veblen's theory begins by laying the foundation for a system of property rights created to enable individuals to productively utilize knowledge that resides within the community as a whole. These property rights make it possible for the creation and ownership of capital in the form of industrial equipment. With growth in the scale and scope of the community comes the ability to monopolize a portion of the community's asset for pecuniary gain. Monopolization then leads to a form of economic servitude that is similar to slavery."" (Niman, Henry George and the Development of Thorstein Veblen's Theory of Capital).In contrast to conventional theories of capital that are founded on the productive labor of workers and described in individualistic terms, Veblen believed that the history of humanity is not the story of a collection of independent individuals, but, rather, is based on the collective contribution of the group. The group plays an important role because it is the group that forms the entity where knowledge iscaptured and stored.""Thorstein Veblen's theory of capital as an important element in developing an evolutionary economics warrants a closer investigation into the origins of the concept. In his essay outlining the basic theory of capital, Veblen (1908) makes explicit reference to the single taxers, and to the relationship between land as an unearned source of rent and the returns associated with capital.If one considers Veblen's anthropological approach to economics, then it becomes easier to see how, as society develops, capital in the form of community-based knowledge takes on the fundamental role previously played in an earlier era by land. Veblen's theory of capital does not invalidate the earlier focus on land, but, rather, is one step further down the path of economic development."" (Niman, Henry George and the Development of Thorstein Veblen's Theory of Capital).Thorstein Bunde Veblen was an American economist and sociologist, and regarded as being the founding figure of the institutional economics movement. ""He studied economics under John Bates Clark, a leading neoclassical economist, but rejected his ideas. He did his graduate work at Johns Hopkins University under Charles Sanders Peirce, the founder of the pragmatist school in philosophy, and at Yale University under laissez-faire proponent William Graham Sumner. He repudiated their views as well. Veblen did not reject economists' answers to the questions they posed"" he simply thought their questions were too narrow. Veblen wanted economists to try to understand the social and cultural causes and effects of economic changes."" (The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics).‎

‎The exceedingly scarce first edition of this landmark work of Russian economics, being Vorontsov's seminal pre-revolutionary book ""The Fate of Capitalism in Russia"", which constitutes, not only the first serious attempt at analyzing Russian capitalism, but also one of the earliest (and the first Russian) theoretical statements of the assumption of economic development along non-capitalist lines. Vorontsov, together with Danielson - who was greatly inspired by the present work - is considered the major exponent of Narodnik (and pre-revolutionary) economics, of which the present work is essentially the epitome. ""In the 1880's, after the revolutionaries had clearly abandoned their indifferences to political forms, legal Populism became a distinctly separate movement with its own ideology. The common denominator linking the often very different members of this movement was the postulate of noncapitalist industrialization to be initiated and directed by the state, which would safeguard the interests of the small producers. The leading and most characteristic representative of this trend was V. P. Vorontsov (1847 - 1918). His book [the present] was the first ambitious attempt to analyze the specific features of Russian capitalism"" at the same time, it was an original statement of the theoretical assumptions of economic development along noncapitalist lines."" (Walicki, A History of Russian Thought)Vorontsov argues that that Russia's lack of an adequate internal market and the continued vitality of the peasant commune in Russia precluded any possibility that capitalism could ever supplant the agrarian economy that existed there"" the process of industrialization had been initiated in Russia but the backwardness compared to the rest of Europe meant that the industrialized mode of production would be kept in Europe, meaning Russia would have to import instead of export goods and thereby be kept on a comparatively low industrialization level due to the lack of internal market. Vorontsov, however, saw this as a not necessarily negative development. He wrote: ""The countries which are latecomers to the avenue of history have a great privilege in comparison with their foregoers, a privilege consisting in the fact that the accumulated historical experience of other countries enables them to work out a relatively true image of their next step and to strive for what others have already achieved not instinctively but consciously, not groping in the dark but knowing what should be avoided on the way."" [From the present work].Vorontsov was one of the first Russian economists to study the works of Karl Marx, the historical materialism of whom he was strongly influenced by. Vorontsov, inspired by Marx, maintained that crises are caused by production of surplus value, which becomes the real purpose of the economy under capitalist relations. The ""problem of the home market"" and the excess of production over consumption are manifestations of the fact that the capitalist class is not in a position to consume the entire surplus value produced. Vorontsov had therefore worked out a Marxist version of the underconsumption approach, which converged with the one first introduced by Malthus: Crises emanate from ""over-saving,"" or, in Marxist terms, from the inability of the capitalists to consume surplus value.""The views of the other Marxist theoreticians of the Narodnik current, first and foremost Nikolai Danielson, who in 1891 presented his theses in comprehensive form in his ""Outlines of our Social Economy after the Reform"" converged with the basic conclusions of Vorontsov's analysis: inability of the economy to absorb the product generated owing to capitalism's inherent tendency to increase production beyond society's ability to consume. Within this framework, Danielson is nevertheless to be distinguished from Vorontsov as regards the factors that cause underconsumption: contraction in the purchasing power of the popular masses (and not the inability of capitalists to consume the surplus value)."" (MILIOS, Tugan-Baranowsky and Effective Demand)The present work had a profound influence upon the Narodnik movement and is considered the movements economic background. It is commonly rendered as ""populism"" or ""peopleism"", an ideology which took ""peasant collectivism as a vehicle for non-capitalist development in Russia. The Narodnik movement developed along two paths: The intellectual, media based approach (The most influential and to which Vorontsov belonged) and the revolutionary agitation against the Tsardom. Though their movement achieved little in its own time, the Narodniks were in many ways the intellectual and political forebearers of the socialist revolutionaries, who went on to greatly influence Russian history in the 20th century.‎
