Synopsis

Barnett (research fellow at the Center for Russian and East European Studies, U. of Birmingham) analyzes the life and theoretical innovations of the founder of long cycle analysis, N. D.

Kondratiev was a key economic policy advisor to the Soviet government in the early 1920s before falling out of favor after 1926, being jailed in 1930, and finally being executed in 1938.
