Produktbeschreibung

Arthur Spiethoff, an economist of the German Historical School of Economics, is best known for his theory of the business cycle. Despite him calling for unified reading of his work, his epistemological thinking has received less attention. This book addresses that gap by analysing his theory of the business cycle in the light of those views.
