Jeff,
 
I have recently started listening to your show and appreciate the perpectives you offer especially relating to ties between the current "war", the economy, and politics. I did a search of your site and have not found any references to the Kondratieff (also Kondratiev) economic wave. More Information
 
I have a Masters Degree from USC in Systems Management that I completed in 1995 that concentrated on Systems Theory. A professior of mine Dr. Kenyon B De Greene, is an noted expert on the Kondratiev Economic wave, had us do research into our chosen industries in which we were to tie an industry to the upcoming Window of Opportunity to be seen based on the depression that was to occur in 2000. The Kondratiev econmic wave predicts a major war between 2000-2015, a world wide depression that hasn't been seen since 1930's and other disruptive political shifts. This econmic wave was defined in 1920's by a Russian Economist which the cycle is named after, He was commissioned by the Communists Government in Russia to predict the fall of Democracy and capitalism. Instead it showed Capitalism has self-healing aspects to the econmic system, thereby making it stronger that structured ecomomies such as socialism and communism. Kondratiev was jailed and eventually died in a Siberian prison, becuase he found against Communism.
 
Most Economists don't support the Kondratiev Economic theory because it shows they are helpless in their efforts to thwart depressions, therefore they are somewhat useless in their studies and attempts to do it, which kind of effects the job definitions of Economists. If you are educated in Economics, you will never hear of the cycle in a formal environment. Systems Theory on the other hand look at the complexities of systems such as Economies, Political structures, Social structures, and attempt to find indicators to support predictors, because the specifics these systems are so complex, no scientific methods have been able to capture predictable algoritms. An example of this is "Why can we put a man on the moon but not fix the poverty problem?" Putting a man on the moon is based on systems that have limited change and fluxiation (gravity, chemical reactions for the engines, control systems effected by electronics). Fixing poverity includes extremely flexible changing structures such as societies, economics of countries and politics of countries.
 
I have been waiting for over five years to see the signs of the war and econmic collapse based on my studies and a student of the Kondratiev cycle and you can imagine the challenges in believing that the depression would hit given the prosperity of the 1990s. Given the current state of affairs, you may want to do some research into this Ecomomic wave cycle. It brings all of the events together in a very predictive manner. This wave has been documented back to the earliest records of economic figures and industial measures in the 1700s. Four cycles have occured and we are coming into the fifth cycle.
