The Fourth Turning does not end with a return to the prior equilibrium. It ends with a new order — better or worse, depending on which forces prevail in the decisive battles of the crisis era. Those battles are being fought now, across domains: monetary (the BRICS challenge to dollar hegemony, the rise of non-dollar settlement, the emergence of digital currencies), geopolitical (the realignment of the Middle East, the unravelling of the post-Cold War security architecture), and epistemic (the collapse of institutional trust, the fragmentation of shared information environments, the re-emergence of heterodox analysis as a credible alternative to official…
