Do central banks help alleviate or actually contribute to causing the business cycle?

In this prescient 1932 book, E.C. Harwood used sound theory and statistical analysis to examine the true cause of the business cycle, warn about the effects of central banking, and recommend a return to a sound-money, free-market policy.

American Institute for Economic Research is pleased to make this classic work, still extremely relevant to the debate over monetary policy, available to a new generation of readers.

Praise for the original 1932 edition:

“Have enjoyed reading your Cause and Control of the Business Cycle. I only wish we could see its control as plainly as you portray its cause.”
— A member of the faculty, the Army Industrial College

“All who desire a readable discussion of the business cycle will find Mr. Harwood’s book interesting and stimulating.”
— Barron’s National Financial Weekly

“… want to sincerely congratulate you on the depth of thought displayed in the presentation of the vital factors that affect, assist and retard the business cycle.”
— John B. Hughes, Financial Editor of the Boston Post

Real-Time Account of How Government Caused Equity Crash & Depression

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 3, 2018

Long out of print, this was the first book (1932) to contend that the equity-price crash of 1929 and the Great Depression were caused not by Wall Street "greed" or by free markets but by government interventions, especially the Fed's manipulation of money and credit. Not until 1963 did Milton Friedman draw a similar conclusion (in his "Monetary History of the United States). Unfortunately, Harwood's account was ignored at the time (except by his grateful clients at AIER) and soon thereafter eclipsed by the "demand deficiency" myths of Lord Keynes (in his "General Theory," 1936). Harwood's book is well worth a re-visit and careful study. It's a solid supplement to the related works of Mises, Hayek, and Hazlitt. What's the relevance? The political manipulation of money and credit persists to this day and still causes sub-far financial-economic performance and periodic crises, even as it facilitates low-cost fiscal profligacy - and Keynesian myths have won an unjustified revival. The lesson hasn't been learned - i.e., that government intervention doesn't "smooth" the business cycle or "fix" crises but causes them - but this book can help you learn it.
