Generations

Category

The groundbreaking exploration of generational dynamics comes from acclaimed authors William Strauss and Neil Howe, known for their influential works “The Fourth Turning” and Howe’s “The Fourth Turning Is Here.” Their generational theory provides insight into how generations evolve and shape society, spanning hundreds of years in the past and projecting into the future decades.  Strauss and Howe present the history of America as a sequence of generational biographies, starting in 1584 and encompassing individuals up to the present children. They propose a bold theory that classifies each generation into four distinct types, suggesting a repeating pattern in a fixed sequence. “Generations” offers a unique perspective on American history, unveiling a recurring cycle of spiritual awakenings and secular crises—from the founding colonists to the current era and well into the twenty-first century.
