These traps are connected with modernization of the societies and comprise one of its main results – the change of demographic structure of the society. The work includes three parts. They are devoted respectively to large-scale Kondratieff and medium term Juglar economic cycles; Malthusian and Post-Malthusian (modernization) traps as well as possibilities of escape from them; various types of crises.
