People's behavior over the last 25 years (1971-1996) shows-in the most widely differing fields-the classical pattern of a rising long wave of anxiety, which is now beginning drastically to fall. The prospect of a falling wave of anxiety, which corresponds with a rising wave in the economy, makes it possible to predict changes of taste, values and behavior for the next two decades.
