It's from the Strauss–Howe generational theory of history. That history moves in roughly 80 year cycles (about equivalent to one human life span), like a pendulum.
According to the Strauss–Howe generational theory, the Fourth Turning is a Crisis. This is an era of destruction, often involving war, in which institutional life is destroyed and rebuilt in response to a perceived threat to the nation's survival. After the crisis, civic authority revives, cultural expression redirects towards community purpose, and people begin to locate themselves as members of a larger group.
I believe that we may be coming out of the current Fourth turning (where everything sucks) and are actually due for the next First Turning to begin, which follows a Fourth Turning and is a High, which occurs after a Crisis. During The High institutions are strong and society is confident about where it wants to go collectively.
