New York: George Braziller, Inc, 1960.
Octavo. 534 pp. First Printing stated. Original black cloth with bright gilt spine lettering. Blind stamp to front board reads "C W Mills -". Dust jacket unclipped. Jacket shows chipping at spine head and minor edge rubbing. Text block tight and clean. Light toning to leaves.
Curated by C. Wright Mills at the height of his influence, the book assembles foundational texts from Marx, Weber, Pareto, and Veblen, framed by Mills' provocative introductory essay on "The Classic Tradition." Often cited for its role in re-establishing the "big questions" of sociology, this first printing is particularly desirable for its Yaroslava Mills jacket design and its unclipped state. K2.
