Looking for a book on patterns of social values through different generations in America

by Bannedfromfun

I can't remember the name, just that it involved something like two axis of six main philosophies for the majorities ethical and political views like "Philosophers" and "Economically Conservative" and "Idealists" vs. "Pragmatists" etc. and that certain combinations in one generation would lead to another combination in the next one.

Fuck me I know this is vague, but it's really bothering me.

I believe you're looking for the Strauss-Howe generational theory.
