| abstract | - Positive feedback, sometimes referred to as "cumulative causation," refers to a situation where some effect causes more of itself. A system undergoing positive feedback is unstable, that is, it will tend to spiral out of control as the effect amplifies itself.
- Positive Feedback describes acceleration toward collapse driven by output from a phenomenon in the past that affects the occurrence of the same phenomenon in the future. Positve feedback is associated with boom and bust business cycles.
