This recurrent dual them of the book distinguishes Okun both from radical thinkers, who would abolish market capitalism, and from exponents laissez-faire, who would generally broaden its role. Okun values the market as a decentralized and efficient system for spurring and channeling productive effort and for promoting experiment and innovation,; he also sees it as a protector of individual freedom of expression. But he insists that other values must be protected from the potential tyranny of the dollar yardstick and that many rights and powers should not be bought for money. -- end. indexed, 124 pp. -- Interesting read on efficiency from Okun.

The Secret Sexual Life of the Stock Market

The Secret Sexual Life of the Stock Market
by Spencer Fleming (aka: C.M. Flumiani)

Book Description: The Library of Wall Street, Albuquerque, NM, 1970. Soft cover. C.M. Flumiani (illustrator). Reprint. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Softcover, Reprint, exact facsimile of the original first edition, first printing published in 1970. Numerous scribbled illustrations by Flumiani, 31 pp. Written by Carlo Maria Flumiani under the pseudonym, "Spencer Fleming, pagination is funky, (as expected with Flumiani titles) as the first chapter starts at page 9 even though it's 6 pages in from the front cover, guaranteed complete facsimile of original.

Contents: Chapter 1. Man The Barbarian, 2. The Tyranny of the Emotions, 3. Love and Power, 4. Indifference, Donation & Possession, 5. The Intima & Perversions, 6. Exaggerations and Perversions, 7. Self-Destruction, Life & Sex, 8. Ignorance, Success & Failure, 9. The Stock Market Advances, 10. The Stock Market Declines, 11. The Reclining Positions, 12. The Law of the Extremes, 13. Moronic Beatitudes & Destructive Dejections, 14. Duality: the Double Contrary & the Concordant Action, 15. Sex-for-Pleasure and Sex-for-Procreation, 16. The Rapidity of the Action, 17. Perfection and Imperfection, 18. The Orgasm as a Vaticinatory Experience. -- end. 31 pp. Summary: This 1970 title, published a year after the summer of love, is Flumiani at his eccentric best. The awkward prose and skewed perspectives Flumiani had on the markets in the 60's and 70's are now a welcome diversion to what is otherwise a generally straight jacketed approach by other authors to explain stock market price movement. The Secret Sexual Life of the Stock Market is probably the most entertaining of the Flumiani Collection, and in my opinion actually one of his most coherent. This was the first book Flumiani authored as Fleming, the 2nd was "The Failure of the American Democracy," in 1973, and at least one more in 1977. Extremely Scarce Title, Collectible Reprint.

Contents: A thought provoking text on numerology and Universal Law by Hall, here's the first paragraph, "I do not believe there is any philosophy in the world that gives us such a wonderful working knowledge of principles as the doctrines of Pythagoras. In his mathematical philosophy Pythagoras reveals very closely the relationship between the great Universal Laws governing life and the application of these Laws to the affairs of men. First of all it clearly indicates that everywhere in nature, everywhere in the life of the human being, the various things that we see, the phenomenon of living as we know it, every part is directly related to a Universal Reality. Forms are symbols of ideas.

Human beings are symbols of cosmic motion, we are a part of the motion of the Universe through Space. The individual purpose of man, his arts, crafts, trades and professions, are symbols of the extension of his soul power. Everything that the individual does as an individual is a symbol of the principles working through him. All these principles are of themselves invisible but are apparent to us in the outworking of themselves in our patterns of life and action." -- Hall was a friend of R.N. Elliott and had a profound influence on Elliott's understanding of Universal Law which Elliott later characterized in his book, "Nature's Law: The Secret of the Universe (1946)". 13 pp. Highly Collectible Original Typewritten Manuscript.

The Story of a Speculator

The Story of a Speculator 
by Arthur W. Cutten

Book Description: Alanpuri Trading, Los Angeles, CA, U.S.A., 2013. Soft cover. Reprint. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Softcover, pictorial (vintage-look) photo wrappers, Exact Facsimile Reprint of the Original 1936 First Edition. (Originally self-published by the author in 1936),

Book Condition: New,

Contents: Autobiography of the author, a trader who traded the largest number of wheat contracts of any trader in history. A spell-binding detailed account of the author's experiences in trading and observing the industry from the time he arrived at the Chicago Board of Trade building in 1890 to the end of his career in the early 1930's.

About the Author (text originally published in The Wellington Business Digest Vol. 1, Issue 5, April 1985): Cutten's first major market success is said to have been in 1906, in Soo Line rail stock in which he made a profit of $220,000. A Canadian Press report describes how Cutten cornered the wheat market in 1924: "Forearmed with the knowledge of weather and crop conditions, he foresaw an impending world grain shortage.he bought grain futures slowly and unobtrusively and held them as prices climbed rapidly, eventually reaching more than $1 a bushel over normal price in eight months. Estimates of his profits ranged from $12 million to as high as $30 million."

Not all of Cutten's time was spent in Chicago's corn pit. In 1925, Cutten moved his market operations to the New York Stock Exchange. In 1928, Cutten was reportedly involved in a gigantic investment scheme headed by the seven 'Body by Fischer' brothers of Detroit. From this, Cutten was said to have made, at one time, a paper profit of more than $50 million. Some years before his death in 1936, Cutten described himself as "a cash grain merchant and dirt farmer." He was far too modest. The dirt farm was an 800-acre estate located 25 miles from downtown Chicago. As to being a 'cash grain merchant', one wonders if Cutten wasn't being ironic in his use of the word 'cash'. The great stock market collapse happened when speculators turned out not to have the cash necessary to pay for their high flying ventures.

After his death, Cutten's Will was officially proven and it seems his estate was worth only slightly more than $350,000. The terrible depression of the 1930s set in after the stock market crash. Not unreasonably, people felt these two events to be somehow related. They demanded to know who was to blame for these disasters. In 1933, Cutten and other famous market speculators were summoned to Washington to participate in the Stock Exchange Practices Hearings.

With much tongue in cheek, the economic historian John K. Galbraith claims that ''as a market operator, Arthur Cutten surmounted substantial personal handicaps. He was very hard of hearing, and some years later, before a congressional committee, even his own counsel conceded that his memory was very defective." " Cutten was not the only Wall Street tycoon whose hearing and memory proved defective at the Stock Exchange Practices Hearings. The hearings showed that in 1929, more than 100 issues of stock on the NYSE had been subject to manipulative operations. The same games had been played in 1928. Radio stock, in which Cutten invested heavily, went from $85 to $420 - and this without ever having paid a dividend.Montgomery Ward stock, part of the Cutten-Fischer brothers scheme, rose from $117 to $444 (Times Industrial Averages). 
 
By 1935, the U.S. government was on Cutten's case with a vengeance. The grain futures commission accused him of making false reports of his grain holdings to manipulate prices. He was barred from trading on grain markets for two years. Cutten fought the penalty all the way and won when the Supreme Court agreed that the commission could not suspend him for something that had happened five years before. No doubt his lawyers argued that it was not until after the Crash that legislation had been passed prohibiting pools, wash sales, short selling and tipsters bearing false information.

The government took its final revenge the following year. In March 1936, a federal grand jury in Chicago indicted Cutten for income tax evasion. Three months later he was dead of a heart attack. The charges were dropped, but the government nevertheless sued the Cutten Estate for the money. The hefty tax bill was apparently settled, in part, by selling properties outside the estate.

Cutten show below on the cover of Time Magazine December 10, 1928

Although few outside of the wheat markets remember Cutten, his story is compelling and memorable, giving us another look at the days when one man was capable of cornering a commodity market.

The New Inflation, How to Detect It from Beginning to End

The New Inflation, How to Detect It from Beginning to End
by Owen Taylor

Book Description: Alanpuri Trading, Los Angeles, CA, U.S.A., 2013. Soft cover. Reprint. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Softcover, pictorial (vintage-look) photo wrappers, Exact Facsimile Reprint of the Original 1941 Edition.

Book Condition: Brand New.

Contents: An extremely rare work by Owen Taylor who was best known for his work on "Point & Figure Technique." This 25 page paper, first published in 1941, focuses on how to identify inflationary periods prior to hyper-inflationary periods by charting specific U.S. Labor Statistics against Raw Material Costs.

My favorite part of this book is Taylor's reminder to the reader of the TRUE definition of "Inflation." He cite's The second edition of the New Merriam_Webster International Dictionary as follows: (Keep in mind this was 1941) 

IN-FLA-TION - 2. Disproportionate and relatively sharp and sudden increase in the quantity of money or credit, or both, relative to the amount of exchange business. Such increase may come as a result of unexpected additions to the supply of precious metals, as in the period following the Spanish conquests in Central and South America or the period following the opening of large new gold deposits; or it may come in times of business activity by expansion of credit through the banks; or it may come in times of financial difficulties by governmental issue of paper money without adequate metalic reserve and without provision for conversion into standard metalic money on demand. In accordance with the law of quantity theory of money, inflation always produces a rise in price level.

-- Fast forward to our modern times, and it is clear that the public understanding and institutional definition has morphed to the "symptoms" of inflation and not the core cause and act of inflation. Merriam-Websters' online now cites the definition as, "a continuing rise in general prices level usually attributed to an increase in the volume of money and credit relative to available goods and services. "-- The better definition came in 1941. -- 25 pp. Reprint, Extremely Scarce Title and Content from one of the fathers of Point & Figure Technique. Recommended Reading.
