Neil Howe and William Strauss, the visionaries behind the bestselling phenomenon "The Fourth Turning," have once again turned their attention to America's past to predict our future over the next ten years. In their "riveting and revelatory" prophecy, they offer a compelling vision of how our present era of unrest will resolve and what our lives will look like afterward. Thirty years ago, Howe and Strauss introduced a groundbreaking theory of American history that revealed a distinct pattern: modern history moves in cycles, each lasting approximately eighty to one hundred years, with each cycle composed of four eras or "turnings" that always arrive in the same order and each lasting about twenty years. The last of these eras, the fourth turning, was always the most perilous, characterized by civic upheaval and national mobilization as significant as the New Deal, World War II, the Civil War, or the American Revolution. Now, as we approach the early 2030s, Howe and Strauss have made an extraordinary new prediction. They argue that the polarization, growing threat of civil conflict, and global war we see all around us will culminate in a climax that poses great danger but also holds great promise, potentially ushering in America's next golden age. Every generation alive today will play a vital role in determining how this crisis is resolved, for good or ill. "Big history and bold futurology" (The Wall Street Journal) describes The Fourth Turning Is Here as a groundbreaking work of social science that offers a fresh perspective on the past, present, and future of our world. It challenges our assumptions about what it means to be human and offers a path forward for a more hopeful and prosperous future.

The Fourth Turning Is Here takes us deep into the collective personality of each living generation to make sense of our current crisis. It explores how all of us will be differently affected by the political, social, and economic challenges we face in the decade to come. The book challenges our assumptions about what it means to be human and offers a path forward for a more hopeful and prosperous future.
