Description

From the origins of paper money with Scottish gambler John Law, to the booms and bubbles of the 1990s, this overview of cycles in business and finance uses business cycle theories to explain actual events, showing how theoretical thinking reflects the experiences of hyper- inflations, depressions, liquidity squeezes, and the Internet crash. Appendices offer lists of financial crises in history, indicators, and the typical sequence of events of a business cycle. The first edition was published in 1997 by license under the Harwood Academic Publishers imprint, part of the Gordon and Breach Publishing group. This second edition is distributed by Taylor & Francis. Tvede is involved in global fund management. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
