I admittedly picked it up because of all the press it's been getting because of steve bannon. It was published in 1997 and guessed that the end of the third turning (Unraveling period) would happen in the mid to late 2000's with a mild financial crisis (2008 financial crisis), and apparently we are in the fourth turning right now (Crisis period). We are either going to end in a catastrophe or enter a new golden age. What do you think about it? I'm only about 100 pages in.

Haven't read it, but I'm intrigued by it for the same reasons you were. How much mention do our favorite guys (Evola, Spengler, De Maistre, etc.) get? Because now that I think of it, the idea of cycles of history is rather Spenglerian.

>cycles of history
This concept seems frankly dumb as rocks, although obviously the illusion of knowledge/control it gives would be popular.

Haven't read the book, but I really doubt it. It's written by americans and for americans. European reactionaries might be ideologically alligned to american reactionaries, but geopolitics plays it's place regarding anglo ideology.

None of them are mentioned at all. The only book that would really be a reference here would be Strauss and Howe's earlier book, Generations.
