Finely bound collection of the political works of English political theorist and economist Harold Laski. Octavos, 22 volumes, uniformly bound by Bayntun Riviere Bindery in three quarters morocco with gilt titles and raised bands to the spine, top edge gilt, marbled endpapers. Titles include Laski's well-known An Introduction to Politics, The StateÂinÂTheoryÂandÂPractice, The American Democracy, The Dangers of Obedience & Other Essays, and StudiesÂinÂLawÂand Politics. In fine condition. English political theorist, economist, and professor Harold Joseph Laski served as the chairman of the British Labour Party from 1945 to 1946 and and was a professor at the London School of Economics from 1926 to 1950.
