Cliodynamics, introduced by Peter Turchin, uses quantitative methods to study long-term historical patterns, focusing on factors like population dynamics, economic inequality, and elite overproduction to explain societal changes.
Turchin's cliodynamic analysis suggests the United States is experiencing a period of instability due to these factors, predicting social unrest.
We examine this prediction, along with the underlying theories and potential implications for America’s future.
