Publisher's Synopsis
This volume presents the origin and history of the interdisciplinary school of Russian cyclism founded by Nikolay Kondratyev, Pitirim Sorokin and others. Giving an account of the theory of cycles and crises, the author applies this to the future forecasting the chief trends of the 21st century. This includes a discussion of post-industrial society formation, the struggle for partnership, and new functions of the state in the rapidly changing world.
