Badlands Book Club – Book 3: The Fourth Turning Chapter 8, Part 2

CannCon and Ashe in America continue their deep dive into The Fourth Turning with Part 2 of Chapter 8, exploring the Boomer generation’s rise into midlife power and the cultural shifts that reshaped America. From the “yuppie” era and Reagan’s political influence to the moral fervor and spiritual awakenings of the 1990s, Ashe and CannCon connect Strauss and Howe’s generational theory to today’s world with humor and sharp insight. They discuss the parallels between then and now—revived faith movements, the redefinition of family values, the culture wars, and the roots of modern polarization. The hosts also weave in their signature banter over fantasy football, gold prices, and soft disclosure ads, blending intellect with entertainment in classic Badlands fashion.
