About this conversation
In this week’s episode we discussed a book called The Fourth Turning by Neil Howe and William Strauss. In this book they describe a cycle of history that repeats in four periods of renewal, stabilization, decline, and crisis. Each generational “turning” takes about 20 years, so a complete cycle takes roughly 80 years.
