Description

Understand how periodic cycles of economic change have fundamentally transformed American work, business organisation, markets, and government throughout history. This book explores how waves of new technologies power these economic transformations, from the 1890s development of electricity and cheap steel that created factory-based economies, to the 1940s and 1950s automation and electronics advances that reshaped national corporate and mass-production systems. By examining the historical patterns of innovation and economic cycles, readers gain insight into the forces that have reordered entire industries and shaped modern commerce. Published by Edward Elgar Publishing, this work provides essential context for understanding how technological innovation drives long-term economic growth and structural change, helping you anticipate and navigate future economic transformations in an increasingly complex global marketplace.

Key Features

Examines how innovation cycles reshape business organisation, labour structures, and government policy across different historical periods.

Published by Edward Elgar Publishing, offering scholarly analysis of long-wave economic theory and its practical applications.

Provides historical framework for understanding current economic transformations and predicting future cycles of growth and change.
