HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Most interesting theory I've seen in a long while.

It's an extension/elaboration of the theory of The Fourth Turning (Strauss–Howe generational theory) that noticed that human civilization seems to follow a 80 year micro-cycle with war breaking out every 80 years, fertility increasing and collapsing over the same time period (but at a different phase). The Fourth Turning noticed the pattern but could not explain it.

The amateur scientist Janne Miettinen was fascinated by this and, through his own research, noticed that data/measurements of levels of the 4 human hormones testosterone, growth hormone, dopamine and cortisol followed a 80 year cycle (!!), such cycles also exist in the animal kingdom, and thus could possibly be the basis of the micro-cycle.

Strong men create good times Good times create weak men Weak men create bad times Bad times create strong men.

4 20 year cycles, 4 generations… yup.

Fighting jews creates good men. Good men create good times. Good times make men forget the jew. Ignoring jews creates bad times.

I've read the book. Guy's theory is idiotic. He misattributes the cause. It's not a natural cycle. This is what happens when Jews remain hidden with hands on levers of power.

Which book? If you're talking about Dutton, I like the guy, I think he's right about many things. I am convinced that dysgenics is a big factor behind the fall of civilization. It's not the only factor, many factors contribute.
