Why should Turkey continue with strong fiscal adjustment? Lessons derived from the past
Paslı (Ağar), Mediha; Öcal, Nadir; Department of Economics (2006)

Asset price speculation has come to play a central role in economic life in the age financial liberalization in a way that is reminiscent of the era right before the Great Depression. In his A Treatise on Money, financial variables and asset price speculation was an integral part of Keynes’ account of the business cycle dynamics.
