WIESER, Friedrich von.

Das Gesetz der Macht.

Vienna, Julius Springer, 1926. Large square 8vo, pp. xv, [1] blank, 562 + advertisement leaf; a fine, clean copy in the original publisher’s buckram, upper board and spine lettered in green. First edition of Wieser’s great, final work, written in the wake of the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and published shortly before his death. ‘Its main theme is an elaboration of David Hume’s thesis that all power rests on opinion; Wieser built on this thesis a “law of small numbers,” describing the role that elites of various sorts play in all power structures’ (Hayek, in IESS).
