Excerpt from Generating Economic Cycles Among the rare books in the library where I am writing there is a first edition of Galileo's treatise Dialogo sopra i due massimi sistemi del mondo, Tolemaico e Copernicano. This was the work that brought him before the Roman Inquisition. By the Holy Office he was convicted "of believing and holding the doctrines - false and contrary to the Holy and Divine Scriptures - that the Sun is the centre of the world, and that it does not move from east to west, and that the Earth does move and is not the centre of the world; also that an opinion can be held and supported as probable after it has been declared and decreed contrary to the Holy Scriptures," and he was required by the Holy Office to "abjure, curse, and detest the aforesaid errors." Intolerance of unwonted views was not limited to the Holy Office. Galileo himself could close the windows of his mind and vent his critical scorn upon an adventurous colleague. In the fourth chapter of his fatal book there is a discussion of the theory of terrestrial tides which was the occasion of Galileo's treating with disdain the suggestion of Kepler that the tides are dependent upon the attraction of the Moon.

Book Description
Excerpt from Economic Cycles: Their Law and Cause There is a considerable unanimity of opinion among experts that, from the purely economic point of view, the most general and characteristic phenomenon of a changing society is the ebb and flow of economic life, the alternation of energetic, buoyant activity with a spiritless, depressed and uncertain drifting. During the creative period of the rhythmic change each factor in production receives an augmenting income, and the mutual adjustment of interests in the productive process is brought about in a natural way, primarily through the operation of competitive law. he period of decline in the cycle presents a sharply contrasted aspect of industry. With the organization of capital and labor at first unchanged, the amount of the product falls; each of the interested factors seeks at least to retain its absolute share of the product; friction and strife ensure with a threatening of the disruption of industry. What is the cause of this alternation of periods of activity and depression? What is the law? These are the fundamental problems of economic dynamics the solution of which is offered in this Essay.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Quarterly Journal of Economics, 1921-22, Vol. 36 Generating economic cycles are to be described as economic cycles that have their origin in non-economic causes and become the originating source of derived economic cycles. The theory of generating cycles em braces three fundamental inquiries: first, as to the existence of generating cycles, their length, amplitudes and phases; second, as to the ways in which the generat ing cycles work out their rhythmic efi'ects in remote phases of economic life; and third, as to the cause of generating cycles. In other essays I have dealt with the first and second of these divisions. The present paper attempts to place the cause of the eight-year generatin g cycle.
