N. D. Kondratiev was a Russian economist and statistician. Although he was interested in planning theory, he became most famous for his modern approach to economic cycles, primarily long waves. Unfortunately, both his ideas about dynamics in economics, planning and cycles and his work for the Institute for Conjuncture are still underappreciated.

Keywords: N. D. Kondratiev, long waves (K-waves), economic dynamics, planning theory
