Rise and fall of economic cycles in postwar America
The article reflects on a long-term pattern of booms and panics, noting depressions beginning with 1873 and recurring about every twenty years. It cites 1877 as a turning point toward improvement, outlines hoped for resumption, and describes rising realty and general uplift through the late 1870s and into the 1880s, while warning that renewed growth remains uncertain. The piece surveys theorists predicting failure and observes that the economy moved from gloom to a boom-like surge, then into another downturn as cycles repeat.
