It would be very interesting, however, to switch it around and try to make sense of Deleuze or schizoanalysis with the insights of Kontratieff, perhaps by way of Mandel and Jameson? It seems that if there is a connection, it's to do with the idea of displaced limits and the ways in which the business cycle has to constantly fight off overproduction crises, but don't they say that history is an accident? This would make a long-wave analysis more tenuous. Tom S.
