Neil Howe

Created a Fourth Turning Theory arguing that history moves in roughly 80-year cycles made up of four ~20-year "turnings" (High, Awakening, Unraveling, and Crisis), driven by recurring generational archetypes. The fourth and final turning, the "Crisis," is a period of upheaval and institutional destruction and rebuilding—think eras like the Great Depression and World War II—when society's old order collapses and a new one is forged. Strauss and Howe predicted the current Crisis began around 2008 and would climax in the 2020s, a claim critics dismiss as pseudoscientific pattern-matching that's too vague to falsify.
