I agree that this pattern of progressive dominance in the even turnings of the Information Age holds for the US. I am less sure it is universal in all cultures. In the US we have the slave compromises giving the conservatives a natural ability to block progressive change. Thus, say, in Europe you have more progressive governments in the European version of socialism. The US sees progress thwarted in most times, thus the cycles become partisan.
