Summary of Chapter 7

"The Second Turning,” describes the Second Turning during the Consciousness Revolution (1964-1984). The assassination of John Kennedy became a milestone for many. This event coupled with the changing generational dynamics led to what Strauss and Howe termed "The Awakening.”

The chapter begins with the description of the conflict within the national psyche. On one hand, the political establishment thrived in mutual respect, on the other, civil unrest and discontent were raging all over the country. Economists predicted an unprecedented era of financial prosperity. The political institutions operated under the assumption that they were solid and would not be moved or replaced. However, in 1964, the confidence in the status quo began to erode. The authors claim that this questioning began with the economic elite and trickled down to the middle class and the poor.
