treeseed In economics, the term boom and bust refers to the movement of an economy through economic cycles.
The boom and bust cycle describes the cycle of economic upswings and downswings in the business economy and is considered inseparable from capitalism.
According to most economists, an economic boom is typically characterized by an increased level of economic output, a corresponding increase in aggregate demand, falling unemployment, and often, a rise in the inflation rate. During busts, or recessions, aggregate demand is low, inflation decreases, unemployment rises and national income falls. In extreme recessions deflation (a sustained fall in the general price level) may occur.
