USA and Basics of Generational Theory

Another note: I'm not sure that WWII was a crisis war for the USA, for the pacific, yes, but: - Look at people (americans) coming to Europe, if you read the reports (not the propagande) and speak with people alive who can remember this period, you keep 2 ideas from the american people: Their kindnes...

FRANCE and Basics of Generational Theory

Could you give me some text to read on the fifth turning point?? As you know, for France, I think that WWII was an Awakening war and there were NO reset. Because of the stupid Desden attack, I think there was a reset for GB. This means that France has had its fifth turning point. So what will happen...

PANICS

You say in your own texts that there are often 58 years between a major event and a panic. Nothing important happened in 1952, and you speak very often about a major panic on the financial markets, as if this would happen this year. Myself, I think it is too early for a panic. I suspect that you spe...

Re: EUROPE

Fantastic answer, thank you. WW I was NOT a crisis war for Germany. Yes, I agree, I forgot this point. IT IS important for today's analysis. BUT the Austrian government did atrocities to their own people and to germans, so this was an crisis war for Austria, correct? The argument is that the Battle ...

EUROPE

As I'm european, I'm going to ask you an european question. 1) How can you explain (within the Generational Theory) the proximity of WWI and WWII. On my point of view, the effect of WWI on Europe was much worse than WWII because it destroyed the idea of "Progress" which was the 19th century Idea. An...

Re: Climate Change

Ok, I strictly disagree with John. - ICE melts all over the world, this means that we have a strong VISIBLE warming of the earth. - One graph, as done ont the last blog from John, doesn't prove anything. - Man is responsible for a big part, how much is very difficult to evaluate, BUT if we do nothin...

Re: swine flu

Even if the worst doesn't happen this time, we can still realistically expect no less than 80-100 million casualties worldwide. In some of the underdeveloped countries, the losses might be enough to throw them into total chaos. It's probably easier to panic this time because other events seem to su...

Re: Exponentially growing public debt

The experiment of relying on a world body as the guarantor of peace had now gone through three iterations: the League of Nations, the UN during the Cold War, and the UN after the Cold War. Each had proved a failure. I DO NOT agree with the actual failure, NEVER in the west we had such a long period...
