Looking back at the last 500 years, they'd uncovered a distinct pattern: modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting roughly eighty to one hundred years, the length of a long human life, with each cycle composed of four eras--or \"turnings\"--that always arrive in the same order and each last about twenty years. The last of these eras--the fourth turning--was always the most perilous, a period of civic upheaval and national mobilization as traumatic and transformative as the New Deal and World War II, the Civil War, or the American Revolution. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Now, right on schedule, our own fourth turning has arrived...and Neil Howe has returned with an extraordinary new prediction. What we see all around us--the polarization, the growing threat of civil conflict and global war--will culminate by the early 2030s in a climax that poses great danger and yet also holds great promise, perhaps even bringing on 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Big history and bold futurology\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eThe Fourth Turning Is Here\u003c\/i\u003e takes us deep into the collective personality of each living generation to make sense of our current crisis. explore how all of us will be differently affected by the political, social, and economic challenges we'll face in the decade to come, and reveal how our country, our communities, and our families can best prepare to meet these challenges ahead.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1982173734\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781982173739\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Howe, Neil\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover (Jul 2023)","offer_id":46079811780805,"sku":"9781982173739","price":32.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback (Jan 2026)","offer_id":46079811813573,"sku":"9781982173746","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781982173739.jpg?v=1776031971"},{"product_id":"after-the-spike-population-progress-and-the-case-for-people","title":"After the Spike: Population, Progress, and the Case for People","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eNATIONAL BESTSELLER\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat if the challenge for humanity's future is not \u003ci\u003etoo many\u003c\/i\u003e people on a crowded planet, but \u003ci\u003etoo few \u003c\/i\u003epeople to sustain the progress that the world needs?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMost people on Earth today live in a country where birth rates already are too low to stabilize the population: fewer than two children for every two adults.

This book invites us all to think again. Despite what we may have been told, depopulation is not the solution we urgently need for environmental challenges like climate change. Nor will it raise living standards by dividing what the world can offer across fewer of us. Spears and Geruso investigate what depopulation would mean for the climate, for living standards, for equity, for progress, for freedom, for humanity's general welfare. And what it would mean if, instead, people came together to share the work of caregiving and of building societies where parenting fits better with everything else that people aspire to. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith new evidence and sharp insights, Spears and Geruso make a lively and compelling case for stabilizing the population--without sacrificing our dreams of a greener future or reverting to past gender inequities.
