梳理了理查德·古德温关于资本主义生产方式运动规律的思想发展,重点阐述其将经济周期与长期趋势不可分割地融合的洞见,以及由此提出的增长周期理论。
A major concern for Richard Goodwin all of his professional life was to understand the laws of motion of the capitalist mode of production. This led very early on to his profound insight that the trend and cycle are indissolubly fused and ultimately to his most important theoretical construct, the growth cycle. This article sets out the historical development of his idea and discusses the influences on him as it was developed and the contexts in which his idea was set.
