Anybody read The Fourth Turning by William Strauss & Neil Howe?
Just finished it and thought it was interesting. Especially starting in the 10 chapter or so discussing "The fourth turning" in America's timeline predicted to start around 2020 and culminate around 2026. Out of their 5 predictions for the crisis that might start it one was a new communicable virus.
They mention it it would open the possibilities for great achievement through constitutional change or great disaster and that might result in war. But no matter what the nation would be "remade".
Also thought it was interesting the author predicts a devaluation that would crumble the boomer generations buying power.
Interesting book on the cycles of time, nations, etc. Interesting points mirroring what is happening now.
