Generations

The History of America's Future, 1584 to 2069

Neil Howe

Generations is a thought-provoking study of America's history as a succession of generational biographies, with each generation belonging to one of four types that repeat in a fixed pattern. This theory allows us to plot a cycle of spiritual awakenings and secular crises throughout American history, from its founding colonists to today. This book is a refreshing historical narrative that reorders our expectations for the twenty-first century.

Why does this matter for founders? Because different generations have different propensities (to consume, save, live life in general) and will adopt products differently. Ideas adapted from awesome (but dense) book by William Strauss -      source
