The Fourth Turning

For those of you who are unfamiliar with it "The Fourth Turning" is a theory of social cycles developed by Professors Straus and Howe and put into a book of that same name that was published in 1997.

The FOURTH Cycle of that social cycle analysis is the one where chaos occurs that shakes the foundation of society, and nations, to the core ... and it is that cycle which we are now in.

The LAST part of that cycle is the most disruptive, the last time that happened for the US WW2 occurred, before that it was the Civil War, and before that the Revolutionary War.

We are now entering the last part of that Fourth Cycle ... so one should expect chaos to begin to occur - though War is not necessarily required.

Remember ... this is the book that Breitbart News executive Steve Bannon continually talked about back n 2016 and 2017, both before he went to work at that White House and after he was there.

At the link is an presentation that Professor Howe made in 2016 that describes the cycles and what we potentially face between now and 2030. Well worth reading and watching (about 14 minutes long).

Enjoy
