Throughout history, all societies have and are operating on a macroeconomic foundation. Eight pillars support these foundations: Government structure, protective forces, religion, education, health and wellness, entertainment, sports, and the arts, news media, and its child development platform. For a society to realize its full economic potential, all eight pillars need to be in alignment with the prevailing macroeconomic age. Up until 1980, there had only been four macroeconomic ages in history: Hunter-Gather, Agarin, Military, and Industrial. Typically, they last a couple of thousand years or more. However, just three hundred years into the industrial age, it ended, and another began, at least 1700 years ahead of schedule. The real underlying cause of all the calamity in the world today is quite simple; we are in the midst of transitioning from one macroeconomic age to another. The realignment of macroeconomic foundations and the eight pillars appears to require approximately 75 to 125 years. We are currently forty years into the transition. It won’t be completed for another two to four generations, but whichever country gets their first wins.
