Yes, I might, but it might not contain all the info.

Kondratieff’s primary work, as has been noted here, was in agriculture economics, and that’s how I discovered him (because the Elliot Wave fans just keep calling it the “K-wave” or “long wave” or “supercycle” - they don’t usually attribute it by name to him, nor give his background).

Absent being able to scan books, I’d have to recommend you just google around a bit, using different spellings of his name. “Kondratieff” gets you quite the bit of background, then start using variants and see how far you get.

I’ve read some accounts of his work on ag economics and policy, and ag economic policy in the USSR is where a LOT of people went to their death in the USSR - Kondratieff wasn’t the first and certainly wasn’t the last to die on that hill. In fact, Stalin hated Kondratieff’s success in organizing productive ‘collectives’ - akin to what we had in the US as co-operatives, which were under local control but funded by the state for equipment and supplies, and that’s what led to his death.

Anyway, that’s how I happened upon him. He’s a pretty lucid guy, especially for a guy who wasn’t raised around farming.
