U S A: The Softback Preview. Very Good. 1997. 1st Softback Preview Edition. Soft Cover. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo Papeback Paperback. The Great Wave. Price Revolutions and the Rhythm of History. 'The history of prices is the history of change', writes David Hackett Fischer in this broad sweep of western history from the middle ages to our own time. His primary sources are price records, which are more abundant for the study of historical change than any other type of quantifiable data. Fischer uses these materials to fraame a narrative of price-movements in western history from the eleventh century to the present. He finds that prices tended to rise throughout this long period, but most of their increase happened in four great waves of inflation - which he calls the price-revolutions of the thirteenth, sixteenth, eighteenth, and twentieth centuries. This book should be required reading for anyone who is seriously concerned about the state of the world today. 536 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
