  You're fishing for a discussion that will never end :) Let's flip it the other way: which economic elements or actors DON'T go through cycles, in your opinion ? I'm genuinely curious.

    Well, debt doesn't seem to be in a cycle. It just keeps getting bigger! :D

    Sometimes it goes up and sometimes it goes down, but the academic consensus is that its a random walk, rather than any sort of predictable cycle.
