I found Simon Kuznets multi-volume piece on economics (including cycles) really interesting ~35 years ago. Many U.S. university libraries have a copy if/when You want to peruse it - it greatly expanded my thinking about those systems regardless if I am a "True Believer" or not. Those volumes can be pretty challenging at times, but extremely in-depth. Fascinating intro to cyclic theories of economics for a person who tires of business/econ literature not having an engineering perspective (if it's correct or not, at least it's defended - make up your own perspective on the material presented). FWIW, a minor comment by Paul Hawken, writing in CoEvolution Quarterly (Best Periodical Ever in my opinion), is what alerted me to Kuznets. Edit: Adding that Kuznets is a major influence on Austrian economics, and has influenced U.S. economics at high levels. Edit01: minor English corrections.
