I used to use mamma.com.

The article about Soviet economy is interesting. Had a peek at one of the 'tractor novels' produced during Stalin's time. Amazing what can be justified with enough big words.

But what the Kondratieff wave is about is a study of long cycles of debt buildup and repudiation.

I think this is the core point - at least it seems so to me. And I think this is a cycle in/of crowds of humans, a part of the crowd psychology of human nature.

Good stuff, BT.

It also, oddly enough, is a comfort to look at this in the context of history.
