![]() ![]() Together, the four turnings comprise history's seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth. Last comes a Crisis-the Fourth Turning-when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. Then comes an Unraveling, an increasingly troubled era in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion against the now-established order. First comes a High, a period of confident expansion as a new order takes root after the old has been swept away. In The Fourth Turning, the authors illustrate these cycles using a brilliant analysis of the post-World War II period. The authors look back five hundred years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four eras-or "turnings"-that last about twenty years and that always arrive in the same order. Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict its future. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. “A startling vision of what the cycles of history predict for the future.”-USA Weekend William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world-and your place in it.This book was released on 16 January 2009 with total page 400 pages.
