A quick fact sheet.
The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy – What the Cycles of History Tell Us About America’s Next Rendezvous with Destiny (1996) | Authors: William Strauss and Neil Howe
Regardless of the intentions of the authors, this book is getting cited by anti-democracy proponents. For example, Steve Bannon is into it.
- From Publishers Weekly: “The authors’ simplistic framework makes newspaper astrology look like a pure science. The book’s appeal lies in the way they link an all-embracing theory of history to current strivings for self-actualization and to the average person’s desire for peace and prosperity.”
- While I myself find this book dangerous, I do like the visual way artist Van Neistat summarizes & clarifies some of the book’s main ideas.
