One of the earliest economic publications to use linear programming
First edition, first impression, of one of the earliest economic publications to use the method of linear programming. WorldCat locates nine copies in total: three apiece in Hungary and the US, two in Germany, and one in Switzerland.The Hungarian economist János Kornai (b. 1928) was the first economist behind the Iron Curtain to publish critical studies on the Soviet-style command economics of Eastern Europe. This is his second book and a representative example of his work initiating the use of mathematical methods in economic planning. He is also famous for his "two-level planning" theory developed in collaboration with Tamás Lipták, and for Economics of Shortage (1980), perhaps his best-known work.
