WHAT DOES VIRTUOUS CIRCLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

virtuous circle

Virtuous circle and vicious circle

A virtuous circle and a vicious circle are economic terms. They refer to a complex chain of events that reinforces itself through a feedback loop. A virtuous circle has favorable results, while a vicious circle has detrimental results. Both circles are complexes of events with no tendency towards equilibrium. Both systems of events have feedback loops in which each iteration of the cycle reinforces the previous one. These cycles will continue in the direction of their momentum until an external factor intervenes and breaks the cycle. The prefix "hyper-" is sometimes used to describe these cycles if they are extreme. The best-known example of a vicious circle is hyperinflation.

Definition of virtuous circle in the English dictionary
