Combining the historian's extensive primary source material and the economist's arsenal of statistical  analysis, this book rewrites what we know about recessions. Contrary to popular perception, recessions are not the inevitable bust that follows  an unsustainable boom, and they do not operate like wildfires that clear out economic deadwood. Recessions are caused by adverse shocks  like war and energy price spikes, and far from unleashing gales of creative destruction, after a recession, economic growth typically resumes  the same trend as before-all pain, no gain. While recessions have become less frequent over time, decisions made by businesses and  governments can prolong recessions, and Goodspeed offers guidance to avoid making recessions worse. Issuing an important corrective to  economic thinking, Recession is essential reading for high-level policymakers and armchair economists alike.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46713715818654,"sku":"ADS-9781399832267","price":34.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781399832267.jpg?v=1776039161","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781399832267","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
