Summary

This title was first published in 2002: Why do endogenous cycles persist in Spain? Manuel Roman demonstrates a highly novel approach to the study of finance and the persistence of endogenous growth cycles, providing a balanced account of the Post Keynesian, Classical and Neo-classical political economy paradigms as he examines the Spanish economy in unprecedented detail.

Additional text

'...a very interesting and highly recommended book. It provides a different view of growth and cycles from that provided by neoclassical models, and complements Roman's [1997] previous book on Spain...' Eastern Economic Journal
