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.

We examine this prediction, along with the underlying theories and potential implications for America’s future.
