"Revolution = radical change in lifestyles

The bottoming of the 120-year Master Cycle always brings about revolution. The first revolution since the founding of our nation in the 1770s was political in nature. The second revolution, when the last 120-year cycle bottomed in the 1890s, was industrial. The third revolution when the current 120-year cycle bottoms next decade will probably be a social one. As Kress has stated concerning the final “hard down” phase of his 120-year cycle, “There's the potential for Big Brotherism to get worse and we'll probably see the U.S. becoming more socialistic as our standard of living deteriorates...

As the 120-year cycle bottoms in 2014, so does its 60-year cycle half component. The 60-year Kress cycle sometimes (though not always) coincides with K-wave bottoms and is known as the market Super Cycle. The last time the 60-year cycle bottomed was in 1954, at which time the 120-year cycle peaked. This saw the peak of America's industrial prowess and shortly thereafter our industrial base began its long decline. "
