RECESSIONS AND DEPRESSIONS: UNDERSTANDING BUSINESS CYCLES (2ND EDITION)
Book ID/图书代码： 05410010B38466
English Summary/英文概要： When it first appeared in 2004, the first edition of Recessions and Depressions: Understanding Business Cycles offered readers an expertly guided tour through fundamental business cycle theories and the latest research on pivotal market failures. In the aftermath of the events of the 2008 economic crisis, Knoop offers an extensively updated new edition.
As before, the second edition offers clear explanations of classical and Keynesian economic theory and how each has moved in and out of favor from the early 20th century to the present. It then provides detailed studies of major business-cycle downturns in the United States, from the Great Depression and postwar recessions to the "new" economy of the 1990s, the 2001 recession, and in an all-new chapter, the 2008 global financial crisis. The book also features an exhaustive update of statistical data, plus coverage of recent international crises in Argentina and Japan, and a new chapter on what we do and don’t know about business cycles.
Title Features:
• Includes case studies on major economic downturns in the 20th century, from the Great Depression to the 2008 financial crisis
• Presents 40 tables and 20 graphs of business cycle data
• Offers a bibliography of current and historical business cycle research
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 2008年所爆發的全球金融危機無疑再一次為世人敲響警鐘，它不僅充分印證了，在金融的世界中沒有任何一種體制能夠完全規避或抵禦經濟衰退所帶來的衝擊；同時還再一次體現出經濟蕭條對於人們生活所造成的災難性影響。透過它，我們重新意識到，歷經了長達兩個世紀無果的爭論之後，迄今為止在有關經濟運行週期的規律問題上，眾人始終各執一詞，依舊無法達成一個廣泛的共識。
當本書首度於2004年問世之際，它便極其專業地為廣大讀者詳細詮釋了眾多基礎的經濟週期理論，並同時對圍繞金融市場內部重大動蕩所得出的最新研究報告進行了分析。而此次針對2008年所出現的全球金融風暴，作者又適時地為我們推出了本書的最新版本。
一如既往的，我們將在文中看到傳統理論經濟學以及凱恩斯理論經濟學的詳盡剖析，自二十世紀早期至今，這兩種理論體系曾相繼先後受到了世人的熱捧。而與此同時，美國國內經濟先後所遭遇的重大挫折，從著名的大蕭條時期，到戰後的經濟衰退，再到90年代興起的新經濟，以及2001年的再次經濟衰退，直至如今最新加入的08年全球金融危機，作者都予以了一一回顧並開展了細緻的分析。(ANDY)
