Had that book and then lent it to a friend to never be seen again.

It ties in with Evola/Spengler (or whoever is the source) cyclical concept of history, but at a more micro level. Overcoming entropy is challenging, and there exist more probabilities that lead to failure than ones that lead to success.

The bit on archetypes and the generational relationships that are created is probably more true than it isn't. Not really much different from the strong men fixing hard times meme, just with a more modern sociological analysis.
