The International Debate on Long Waves of Capitalist Development: An Intermediary Balance Sheet

Ernest Mandel

Chapter 13 in New Findings in Long-Wave Research, 1992, pp 316-338 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The Brussels colloquium of January 1989 has produced a number of papers and discussion contributions of a high standard which faithfully reflect the present state of the international scientific debate about long waves of capitalist development. In that sense, I consider that it was a real scientific success, but also because there was lively pluralistic controversy. I leave purposely aside all questions of political implications or perspectives to be drawn from the debates, which constitute a different problem, although, of course, not unconnected with the purely theoretical one. But our duty as scientists is to judge historically verifiable phenomena by strictly scientific criteria, regardless of their political implications.
