I think the 4T is on hold, eg hasn't really started yet.
Or, if you prefer: We have its bad sides (recession, other huge unsolved problems), but no people's tribune who starts doing something, fast. So, the 4T's only half there, and we got its worse half.
That's about it. Obama came along in the nick of time this time, and administered some mild curatives, whereas in 1929 the people had to suffer through 4 years of great depression before any relief came, and then when it came it was a more compelling cure. And then the big war came, which did the most to cure the depression.
Our 4T is 1850s redux. The authors saw that this time was such a 4T on hold, that they labelled it part of a 3T. The double rhythm of 4Ts means ours is also a cold civil war, and the more drastic events are delayed again.
