This paper recalls some early work of the Dutch pioneers of long-wave research which anticipated many of the contemporary debates. Various explanations which have been advanced for the existence of long waves are reviewed, and the applicability of long-wave theories in a number of contexts is examined. Also published in: Christopher Freeman (Ed.), Long Wave Theory. International Library of Critical Writings in Economics Vol.69, Elgar Publishers, Cheltenham, 1996, pp. 68-73 Original title: De Zogenaamde Lange Golven van Kondratiev (In Dutch), Ekonomies Bulletin, Vol. 11, No.6, March 1980, pp. 2-5
