Edward R. Dewey, as chief economist in the Hoover Administration, was tasked by President Hoover to figure out what caused the 1929 stock market crash and ensuing depression. In the course of his extensive investigations, he became convinced that something important was missing from our collective knowledge of how economies and societies work – a working knowledge of cycles.He was joined in his quest to establish a "science of cycles" by other leaders of his time, including Ivy League scientists, Smithsonian Directors, Industrial CEOs, Ambassadors, and political leaders. First published in 1971, Cycles: The Mysterious Forces that Trigger Events was Dewey's answer to President Hoover's question and to many more questions which had arisen from his decades of research.Are there cycles in nature? In war? On Wall Street? In the universe? In you? Are cycles across different phenomena aligned with each other?

Cycles: The Science of Prediction is a book written by Edward R. Dewey, which delves into the study of cycles and their use in predicting future events. The book is based on Dewey's extensive research into cycles, which he defines as ""recurring patterns of events that can be observed in nature, economics, and human behavior."" Dewey presents a comprehensive overview of the history of cycle research, beginning with the work of early scholars such as Pythagoras and Plato, and moving on to more recent developments in the field. He discusses the various types of cycles, including astronomical cycles, economic cycles, and social cycles, and explains how they are all interconnected.The author also provides practical advice on how to use cycle analysis to make predictions about future events. He explains how to identify and measure cycles, and how to use this information to make informed decisions in areas such as investing, politics, and business.Throughout the book, Dewey emphasizes the importance of understanding cycles in order to gain a deeper understanding of the world around us. He argues that by studying cycles, we can gain insights into the underlying patterns that govern our lives, and use this knowledge to make better decisions and improve our overall well-being.Overall, Cycles: The Science of Prediction is a thought-provoking and informative book that offers a unique perspective on the study of cycles and their role in predicting future events. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of prediction, as well as those looking to gain a deeper understanding of the cycles that shape our world.This is a new release of the original 1947 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
