Generating Cycles of Products and Prices

Henry Ludwell Moore

The Quarterly Journal of Economics, 1921, vol. 35, issue 2, 215-239

Abstract: The major features of economic cycles are traceable to three primary laws: (1) the law of the generating cycle of raw materials, which is due to a non-economic cause; (2) the law of demand for raw materials, in consequence of which the generating cycle of products originates a derived cycle of prices for raw materials; and (3) the law of competitive price, according to which the prices of finished goods in an open market tend to correspond with the cost of production.
