Pendulum: How Past Generations Shape Our Present and Predict Our Future
Description
Politics, manners, humor, sexuality, wealth, even our definitions of success
are periodically renegotiated based in the new values society chooses to use
as a lens to judge what is acceptable. Are these new values randomly chosen or
is there a pattern? Pendulum chronicles the stuttering history of western
society; that endless back-and-forth swing between one excess and another,
always reminded of what we left behind. There is a pattern and it is 40 years:
2003 was a fulcrum year, as was 1963, its opposite. Pendulum explains where
we’ve been as a society, how we got here, and where we’re headed. If you would
benefit from a peek into the future, you would do well to read this book. Read
Pendulum and you’ll know exactly why current events are happening and what
will happen next. Read more
