The term business cycle (or economic cycle) refers to economy-wide fluctuations in production or economic activity over several months or years. These fluctuations occur around a long-term growth trend, and typically involve shifts over time between periods of relatively rapid economic growth (expansion or boom), and periods of relative stagnation or decline (contraction or recession). These fluctuations are often measured using the growth rate of real gross domestic product. Despite being termed cycles, most of these fluctuations in economic activity do not follow a mechanical or predictable periodic pattern. HistoryFrom Wikipedia under the

Every human being in a community can deliver 2.5 megajoules of work per day and economic growth can result only from an increase in gross contribution from the community as a result of participation which is in turn, dependant on two factors: a) the individual's willingness to contribute b) the willingness of others to accept the individual's contribution This is affected by profitability of living (income minus cost of living). Having said this, there are only two ways to increase gross participation by the community.
