The Fourth Revolution examines the momentous social changes that
have taken place in the United States in recent decades, placing
protests such as the civil rights movement, feminism, and student
demonstrations against the Vietnam War in the context of other
cultural revolutions in American history. By comparing the unique
events of the 1960s with the religious revolution of the 16th and
17th centuries (the first revolution), the democratic political
revolution of the 18th century (the second revolution), and the
economic revolution of the New Deal during the first half of the
20th century (the third revolution), The Fourth Revolution shows
how the cyclical nature of social movements has come to define not
only American history but also the nation's ideal of progress.
Extending to controversies during the past quarter-century over
everything from gay rights to the culture wars, this absorbing book
also looks ahead to potential targets of the next (fifth)
revolution, including militant environmentalism, a repudiation of
science and technology, and an ethic of anti-success.
