Have you ever read “The Fourth Turning” by Strauss and Howe? The 80-year cycles you discussed are explained there, and they use them to predict what is coming. They predicted something like this back in the 1990s, based on the 80-year cycles. I believe we are presently in the Crisis of this particular Fourth Turning. What’s next? A greater depression, then a world war.
No. Never read it. Now I got something to do until the Chicom Cootie quarantine hoax is over.
