His new book, "The Secret Life of Real Estate," provides strong evidence that speculation in property (and, primarily, land) markets drives an 18-20 year business cycle.<br /><br />For reasons I have never understood, economists have been trained under neoclassical theory to treat nature (i.e., the old factor of production, land) as just another form of capital. This seems to be related to the difficulty of solving equations rather than a commitment to explanation of what happens in the real world.Edward J.
