Overview
This book aims at investigating from the perspective of the major economic dictionaries the notions of economic crisis and cycles. The project consists in giving an extensive summary of a number of significant entries on this subject, with an introductory essay to each entry placing them (and the dictionary to which they belong) in their context, giving some details on the author of the dictionary entry, and assessing the entry's (and its author's) contribution. The broad picture (including the history of these encyclopedic tools) will be examined in the introductory essays.

Reviews
What is certain, however, is that this volume constitutes a marvellous piece of historic and economic research on the treatment of business cycles in these reference works. The book is indispensable for any university library, and it deserves to be on the bookshelf of every economist and historian of economics interested in business cycle research. - Guido Erreygers, University of Antwerp, Department of Economics, History of Economic Ideas
