Fourth Turning Again

string
Book •
The Fourth Turning is a book by William Strauss and Neil Howe, detailing a theory of social generational cycles in American history and the history of other developed countries.

It elaborates on types of recurring eras in American history called turnings, each lasting around 20–25 years (one generation).

These turnings comprise a four-part cycle of recurring mood eras: The High, The Awakening, The Unraveling, and The Crisis.

The authors claim that a Crisis began in 2008 and will end around 2030.

Strauss and Howe have discussed their book in numerous media outlets, including a cover story in U.S.

News & World Report in 1996.

The book has been compared to the cyclical theories of Giambattista Vico, Pitirim Sorokin, and Arthur Schlesinger.
