Talk:Business cycle

"It's interesting to note that Marx and Engels' 1848 specific demands in the Communist Manifesto are now almost wholly implemented throughout the once-capitalist world, with the sole exception of the abolishment of rents in land. This suggests that the Marxian analysis found some traction among decision-makers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries."
I deleted that. First, it isn't logical. If I accurately predict rain tomorrow, it doesn't follow I had any "traction" in the clouds, only that I understood enough about the underlying processes to predict where they were going.
Second, it isn't even relevant to the specific issue of the business cycle. Did those items help modify the swings of the business cycle, or compound them, or neither? --Christofurio 15:13, Jun 15, 2004 (UTC)
Certainly it is undeniable.
- Which is undeniable? The first of the quoted sentences or the second. The second seems, to me, quite eminently deniable. --Christofurio 23:23, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
this page overlaps with and thus repeats much of what appears in "the economic cycle". Shouldn't they be merged and one erased? Jdevine 19:42, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
