Martin Armstrong's model agrees that this is the onset another turning point of history. In other terms, it is a change in moments in the historical dialectic, one wave cresting and breaking and another rising behind it to take its place. In the Eastern view of cyclical time it is the end of one cycle and the onset of another cycle. Peter Turchin's cliodynamic model projects something similar for the US. And, of course, there is also Strauss and Howe's generational model and the cycle elaborated in The Fourth Turning. Alexander Dugin's socio-policial model foresees the confrontation of liberalism and traditionalism as the rising cycle after the eclipse of fascism and communism as socio-political theories. Did I miss any?
Anyway, you may fine Martin Armstrong's model interesting. He sees Western (US)-led globalization as waning and the shift to corporate totalitarianism through control of non-democratic international institutions foundering on the shoals of cyclical time.

Is that the model where life gets worse for the 99% ?
ReplyDeleteIt’s representative of a history that keeps repeating… aka “doing the same thing and expecting a different result”
ReplyDeleteOr perhaps these people are not expecting a different result …. they just ideally want it to keep repeating…
It’s textbook Art Degree 101..,, no adjustment or correction… just keep advocating for/doing the same thing as before…
This methodology is still highly influential…
Except that history doesn't repeat... it merely rhymes.
