An Emotional History Of The Business Cycle

Author

Listed:
  • Andrew Lawson

Abstract

This article explores the homology between states of affect as represented in literary texts by Emerson, Poe, and Alcott, and the stages of the business cycle of 1832--1842. It argues that recurrent cycles of mania, panic, and depression served to habituate Americans to the business cycle and to naturalize market forces.
