Macroeconomic fluctuations are a recurring theme throughout history. The Business Cycle Theory divides the macroeconomic fluctuations into four periods; recession, trough, expansion, and peak. Besides these alten-Hing periods, there are two extreme points of business cycles; boom and depression The boom and depression are defined as extraordinarily peak and extraordinarily deep respectively. Depressions, among others, are mostly considert periods, since they result in not only severe economic problems but also social and political destructions.
