No, I don't think nice round numbers like 20 or 100 years show a pattern. I like to think more in terms of generations: 15 to 30 years. I can't predict the future. Please take my 30 year time-line idea as numerology where similarly numbered years must resemble each other. It's broken into a decade each of boom-bust-war: 1890 boom "Klondike Gold Rush" 1900 bust "Panic of 1901" 1910 war WW1 1920 boom "Roaring" 1930 bust "Great Depression" 1940 war WW2 1950 boom "Golden Age" [1] 1960 bust [2] 1970 war Viet Nam 1980 boom "Long" [3] 1990 bust [4] [5] 2000 war Afghanistan, Iraq 2010 boom [6] 2020 bust [7] 2030 war [8] Of course, there are booms, busts and wars occurring at anytime. And some parts of the world might feel like they are in the future and some in the past.
