Noted geopolitical prognosticator George Friedman has come around to the idea of an 80 year cycle.

He does believe in a 50 year socioeconomic cycle that beats against the 80 year institutional cycle.
I haven't read enough of the book to evaluate the 50 year cycle idea yet, but I did skim the conclusion. He believes that this crisis, in the US, will pit the working class against the technorati, with the working class winning in the 2028 election after a failed technorati term - or possibly second term - starting in 2025. Of course, he seems to take as a given that the leadership of the US will still be decided democratically at that point, something I'm not certain of.
