Neil Howe

Neil Howe is an American historian and demographer, best known for his work on generational theory, particularly the concept of generational cycles in American history. He co-authored the influential book "Generations" with William Strauss, outlining how different cohorts—such as Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z—shape and are shaped by societal events and cultural trends. Howe's ideas suggest that each generation has distinct characteristics and values based on the historical context of their upbringing, influencing everything from politics to economics. His theories continue to inform discussions about social change and generational dynamics.
