The Fourth Turning
William Strauss and Neil Howe, 1998
Overview
This book presents a theory of American history based on recurring cycles, each lasting approximately a human lifetime. These cycles are composed of four distinct eras, or 'turnings,' that follow a predictable order: a High, an Awakening, an Unraveling, and a Crisis. The authors argue that understanding these generational dynamics is key to comprehending America's past, present, and future. They place contemporary America within this historical framework, suggesting it is midway through an Unraveling and heading towards a Crisis.
