=================== HES POSTING ===================== In the 1948 edition of "Money", p. 184, D. Robertson writes that the great slump was retrospectively described as "a sloom followed by a bump", but provides no reference. In 1939, James Meade seemed to attribute the expression to Hayek, but the reference is not clear nor explicit. Does anyone know where this expression originated?
