Boom Bust by Fred Harrison

Boom Bust by Fred Harrison

Based on a study of property markets over the last 200 years, Harrison warns of the danger to banks, business and jobs of ignoring a remarkably regular 18-year cycle. He accuses Gordon Brown of giving people a false sense of security by his repeated claim, last made in his 2007 Budget speech, that 'we will never return to the old boom and bust'
