Simpson B.P. Money, Banking, and the Business Cycle. Volume I: Integrating Theory and Practice

Palgrave Macmillan, 2014. — 285 p. — ISBN: 978–1–137–33531–9.Brian P. Simpson connects a wide range of macroeconomic topics that circle around business-cycle theories. His two volumes follow a natural sequence of analysis for someone who sees monetary policy as the reason for business cycles.
After offering a theoretical discussion of money, banking, and inflation, Simpson describes the Austrian Business Cycle Theory (ABCT), which is his main tool of analysis for the rest of the project. Next he applies ABCT to a range of historical cases, including the recession of the 1980s and the Great Depression.Part I Theory
