Notes
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, 2 in Germany, and 1 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. Mathematical Programming of Investments 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 Economics of Shortage (1980), perhaps his best-known work.
