• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Rejecting the idea of an equilibrium business cycle, this book, originally published in 1927, studies those industrial fluctuations which extend over short spans of years: cyclical fluctuations. The causes of these cycles are discussed and the consequences which result and the way in which to mitigate these consequences are examined.
