Synopsis
Excerpt from Generating Economic Cycles Among the rare books in the library where I am writing there is a first edition of Galileo's treatise Dialogo sopra i due massimi sistemi del mondo, Tolemaico e Copernicano. This was the work that brought him before the Roman Inquisition. By the Holy Office he was convicted "of believing and holding the doctrines - false and contrary to the Holy and Divine Scriptures - that the Sun is the centre of the world, and that it does not move from east to west, and that the Earth does move and is not the centre of the world; also that an opinion can be held and supported as probable after it has been declared and decreed contrary to the Holy Scriptures," and he was required by the Holy Office to "abjure, curse, and detest the aforesaid errors." Intolerance of unwonted views was not limited to the Holy Office. Galileo himself could close the windows of his mind and vent his critical scorn upon an adventurous colleague. In the fourth chapter of his fatal book there is a discussion of the theory of terrestrial tides which was the occasion of Galileo's treating with disdain the suggestion of Kepler that the tides are dependent upon the attraction of the Moon.

Generating Economic Cycles (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of economic cycles and their origins. The author, inspired by the work of earlier economists like Cournot, argues that regular, predictable patterns in economic activity are rooted in the natural world. Through rigorous analysis of agricultural data, the book demonstrates a strong connection between fluctuations in crop yields, particularly those driven by weather patterns, and the cycles of prices in raw materials and finished goods. Drawing parallels to the study of tides, the author argues that just as the moon's gravitational pull influences the ebb and flow of the ocean, so too do cyclical meteorological forces drive economic booms and busts. The book's exploration of this relationship lays the groundwork for understanding the underlying forces that shape economic activity and provides a unique perspective on a fundamental question in economics: what makes business cycles so persistent and predictable? This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330549087_0
