This paper surveys current debates on the distributive cycle. The literature builds Goodwin's seminal 1967 chapter titled “A growth cycle.” We review theoretical motivations for cycle, which, despite significant differences, all imply that macroeconomic activity leads labor share in a counterclockwise cycle activity-labor plane. Subsequently, we summarize and update evidence existence of with f...

Abstract Tailoring the electric-field waveform of ultrashort light pulses forms basis for controlling nonlinear optical phenomena on their genuine, attosecond timescale. Here we extend control from visible and near-infrared—where it was previously demonstrated—to mid-infrared spectral range. Our approach yields single-cycle infrared over several octaves first time. Sub-10-fs a carrier-envelope-...
