Selected publications

Long cycles; prosperity and war in the modern age. Yale University Press. 1988. This book examined the causes of the Kondratiev Wave, identifying production, prices, war, innovation, investment and real wages as factors. David Hackett Fischer called this book 'the best introduction...careful, honest and thought-provoking..analyzes 33 attempts by scholars to test the existence of the Kondratieff wave.' ^[1] It also introduced the concept of the political midlife crisis.^{[page needed]} Goldstein returned to this subject in 2005 in a paper, 'Predictive power of long wave theory, 1989-2004'.
