The article describes the research about the U.S. business cycles during the inter-war years from 1919 to 1939. A review of the literature speedily convinces one that the masses still knows distressingly little about the causes of economic fluctuations in the United States in the period between the two Great Wars. In this article, the author indicates what, in his opinion, are some of the most important unanswered questions about this period and how one may best go about trying to answer them. In a sense, this paper is a first report on a larger project dealing with American business cycles during the inter-war years, which is now in progress. The need for more detailed study of this period is easily documented. Even the best of the existing studies of business cycles during the inter-war years have not brought about general agreement among economists as to the nature and causes of the major cyclical fluctuations between 1919 and 1939. The article also answers the question regarding the most important secular forces operating upon the American economy during the inter-war period, and how were these secular forces related to both the boom of the twenties and the depression of the thirties. |
