Transformational Growth and the Business Cycle
Transformational Growth and the Business Cycle by Edward Nell, published by Routledge in 1998, is a comprehensive examination of the concept of Transformational Growth from various historical and geographical perspectives. This 368-page book delves into how the economy functions as an evolving system where market dynamics influence innovation, cost structures, and patterns of market adjustment across different time periods.
Readers will find an exploration of market adjustments during two significant historical eras: 1870-1914 and 1945 to the present, focusing on six countries: the USA, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Japan, and Argentina. The book highlights the differences in market behavior, noting that the earlier period, characterized by craft-based technologies, exhibited a weakly stabilizing price mechanism, while the later period, with the exception of Argentina, reveals a shift towards a multiplier-accelerator process linked to mass production technologies. This analysis provides insights into the interplay between economic development and market adjustments.
Official synopsis Publisher
This book examines the concept of Transformational Growth from a number of different historical and geographical perspectives. Transformational Growth sees the economy as an evolving system in which the market selects and finances innovations, changing the character of costs and affecting the pattern of market adjustment. This creates the possibility that markets will work differently in particular historical periods.
This book explores market adjustments in two distinct historical periods, 1870-1914 and 1945-the present. The book focuses on six countries: USA, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Japan and Argentina. In all cases the earlier period, dominated by craft-based technologies, proves to be the one in which markets adjust through a weakly stabilising price mechanism. By contrast, in the later period, in all cases, with the exception of Argentina, there is no evidence of such a price mechanism, but in its place can be seen a multiplier-accelerator process which, arguably, reflects a change of technology to mass-production.
