First edition of Fisher’s classic work connecting monetary fluctuations to extreme periods of the business cycle. Octavo, original green cloth. Fine in the rare original dust jacket with some wear to the spine and a few small tears.
In this work, Fisher puts forth the theory that booms and depressions may stem from deranged money, or currency that is behaving irrationally due to various value-skewing factors such as debt, hoarding, confidence, and consumption. Fisher is widely considered to be "the father of monetary economics."
