The rare first book by the Nobel Prize winning economist Simon Kuznets, the published version of his doctoral dissertation on cyclical fluctuations in retail and wholesale trade, ‘written under the supervision of Wesley C. Mitchell, who invited Kuznets to join the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). Kuznets gained fame for the research that he carried out at the NBER, particularly in the area of national income and product’ (Hamburg, ‘In Memoriam: Simon Kuznets, 1901-1985’, p. 93).
