Recenzje

"What is certain, however, is that this volume constitutes a marvellous piece of historic and economic research on the treatment of business cycles in these reference works. The book is indispensable for any university library, and it deserves to be on the bookshelf of every economist and historian of economics interested in business cycle research." - Guido Erreygers, University of Antwerp, Department of Economics, History of Economic Ideas
