| | Boom and bust - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | During booms, there is a high level of aggregate demand, inflation increases, unemployment falls, and growth in national income accelerates. | | | During busts, or recessions, when aggregate demand is low, inflation decreases, unemployment rises and national income falls. | | | The term "boom and bust" itself has been a motto of Social Democrat parties, claiming to represent a "Third Way" and who wish to regulate the economic cycle as to prevent both booms and recessions. |

| | The Saga of Japan: Boom to Bust |
| | To favor fiscal policy as a palliative to the bust, one must favor the political expenditures of bureaucrats over the economic expenditures of entrepreneurs since, either in the case of fiscal policy or laissez-faire, the malinvestments must be liquidated and the misallocated factors reallocated. | | | Just as the boom builds outward from banks to the rest of the economy, with banks benefiting the most, the bust collapses inward to banks from the rest of the economy, with banks suffering the most. | | | As a boom matures, bank portfolios are filled with loans that would not have been made, either for too much risk or too little return, in the absence of credit expansion. |

| | Between 1997 and 2000, as the boom peaked, the rate of profit in the non-financial corporate sector as a whole fell by a fifth. | | | The corporate account rigging now coming to light is the direct result of the economic boom of the late 1990s, driven by an almost unprecedented increase in equity prices. | | | Even as their equity prices soared and their purchases of new plant, equipment and software escalated, the telecoms companies found it impossible to make a profit. |

| | Capitalist GIobalism In Crisis Boom and Bust |
| | The truth is that neither part of capitalism's manic-depressive boom and bust cycle is "healthy." Like most capitalist booms, the benefits of global liberalization during the 1980s and l990s were not all they were made out to be. | | | The boom was also limited largely to the very wealthiest in the U.S. Economists Walter Park and David Brat of American University calculated that the Gini coefficient for GDP per capita in 91 countries for which data were available rose steadily throughout the time period. | | | Certainly Latin America did not share in the boom during the "lost decade" of the 1980s as those countries suffered through their "debt crisis." The boom bypassed the Middle East and Northern Africa as oil prices sagged. |

| | This boom syndrome affects the national and global economy as it is reflected in a expansion frenzy that conjures up endless growth and profitability and false and dishonest projections of a global "win win" situation for everybody. | | | As one corporation starts to tighten its belt others feel the mutual effect and a global economic downturn starts to reflect the massive over-saturation of markets which the charlatans call recession. | | | As stocks and shares continue to slide in value the Swiss bank insiders/manipulators thrive on the ever greater profits they make from selling "short" in the same way as they made equally vast profits from buying "long" during the boom phase. |

| | One could also add that workers are released from viable businesses that must downwardly adjust labor expenses, via layoffs, to meet the new economic reality (i.e., the economy has slowed significantly). | | | Irrefutably, the blame for the coming productivity bust will rest directly on the Federal Reserve and its inflationary policies. | | | Under extreme assumptions about labor mobility, an economy could undergo policy-induced intertemporal misallocations and the subsequent reallocation with no change in total employment. |
