THE STORM BEFORE THE CALM - GEORGE FRIEDMAN KAR...

The master geopolitical forecaster and New York Times bestselling author of The Next 100 Years
focuses on the United States  predicting how the 2020s will bring dramatic upheaval and
reshaping of American government  foreign policy  economics  and culture. In his riveting new
book  noted forecaster and bestselling author George Friedman turns to the future of the United
States. Examining the clear cycles through which the United States has developed  upheaved 
matured  and solidified  Friedman breaks down the coming years and decades in thrilling detail.
American history must be viewed in cycles-particularly  an eighty-year institutional cycle that
has defined us (there are three such examples-the Revolutionary War founding  the Civil War 
and World War II)  and a fifty-year socio-economic cycle that has seen the formation of the
industrial classes  baby boomers  and the middle classes. These two major cycles are both
converging on the late 2020s-a time in which many of these foundations will change. The United
States will have to endure upheaval and possible conflict  but also  ultimately  increased
strength  stability  and power in the world. Friedman's analysis is detailed and fascinating 
and covers issues such as the size and scope of the federal government  the future of marriage
and the social contract  shifts in corporate structures  and new cultural trends that will
react to longer life expectancies. This new book is both provocative and entertaining.
