The Great Wave: Price Revolutions and the Rhythm of History is a work of economic history by David Hackett Fischer that examines long-term price movements in Western history and their effects on society, politics, and culture. Rather than treating inflation as a narrow monetary problem, Fischer traces recurring price revolutions across several centuries and argues that they often unfold in broad historical waves. The book is both analytical and synthetic: it uses historical price evidence, especially long-run records of grain and other commodity prices, to connect economic change with war, social instability, inequality, intellectual life, and collective attitudes toward order and progress. Its central purpose is to show that inflation and deflation are not just technical economic events but powerful historical forces that can reshape entire civilizations. The book is written for general readers and scholars alike, combining extensive research with a wide-ranging interpretation of Western history.
