Product Description

Exploring everything from mass psychology to management strategies, Business Cycles pinpoints the theories and practices that affect and reflect economic tides. From the history of business cycles to the arguments of today's leading economists, the book examines all aspects of business cycle theories.
Understanding business cycles—from the factors that create them to the economic and financial conditions that underlie their changes—is not only an exercise in theory, but more importantly, a practical tool for interpreting and forecasting periods of confidence or crisis. Throughout this volume, business cycle theories are used to illuminate actual events and explain how economists continually redefine the economic picture to address new problems.

4.0 out of 5 stars A well-documented history of the dismal economic science, December 27, 1999
By Cedric Spahr (Zurich, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
Lars Tvede has managed to give his readers what most students of economics never get during their studies: a highly readable and entertaining overview about the way economic knowledge has progressed through time, and the way historic events (yes, wars, bubbles, etc.) have shaped the development of economics. The book is well researched and written in a very enjoyable style. If you are tired with short-term GDP forecasts and would like to have a look at the "big picture", this book is definitely for you.

The only reason this book doesn't get five stars are the last chapters about chaos theory, which are a bit "sticky", but nevertheless provide some interesting insights into some of the most recent developements of modern economic theory. Enjoy your reading

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb!!, October 11, 1998
By A Customer
Well written, clear, conise and informative. The first book on economic history that actually encouraged me to turn the page. The theory is explained clearly, but not simply, and the backgroud is interesting and readable. Even if you have no interest in economics this book is well worth the read, it will give you a fuller understanding of how things work, and why.
