JFK changed everything. He basically.. ‘turned on the lights’ – and changed our stagnant.. fresh out of the WAR & ‘great’ DEPRESSION that those in power created for.. ‘us’. No more..!! People rose up & DEMANDED change..!!

Hi Russ,
Thanks for your comment.

The Sixties was a very special time, although NOT unique; indeed, there have been 4 transformative Maslow Windows since Lewis & Clark.

I think JFK was a spectacular leader and the perfect symbol of Camelot for his times. But after looking closely at all 4 Maslow Windows I am inclined to conclude that: Great leaders help, but the economy rules!

In other words if JFK had come along much earlier or later than he did, he would not have had as much impact. I’ve written about this a few times in the blog because it’s such an intriguing topic.

Best regards,
Bruce
