Fiscal Policy and Business Cycles by Hansen, Alvin H - 1941

New York: W.W. Norton & Company Inc.. Good with no dust jacket. 1941. First Edition. Hardcover. "The war now afflicting, directly and indirectly, the entire world cannot be explained by overly simplifed dogmas running in terms of competitive capitalism and imperialistic rivalries. But it has, nonetheless, an economic basis - the inability of the great industrial nations to provide full employment at rising standards of real income. The disastrous economic breakdown of the thirties let loose forces which have set the world in flames. It is against the background of the past decade of economic and political futility that this book is written. It deals with the changing role of government, and particularly with fiscal policy as an instrument for regulating the national income and its distribution." - Introduction. 462 pages. Index.
