Thesis:

A global societal push towards traditional values, layered with western liberal values, is the response to 100 years of progressive values and their outcomes that have characterized this last saeculum

The question is, is this the end of a saeculum, the Crisis period or Fourth Turning

Or are we in a protracted Crisis period lasting longer than the standard 20-25 years predicted in Strauss-Howe’s Generational Theory?

If the former, then the “good times” of the First Turning or The High should be right around the corner

But it certainly doesn’t feel like the good times are around the corner. It feels like we haven’t hit the truly hard times. Those hard times have been kicked down the road and the culprits are likely endless fiat money printing and the digital revolution.
