Socionomic Studies of Society and Culture
How Social Mood Shapes Trends from Film to Fashion
Suppose you could understand why stars who rule the airwaves and movie screens one minute can be catapulted to obscurity the next. And why genres of TV shows become popular overnight. How and why trends fluctuate in the attendance of sporting events; the next big thing in fashion; and the styles, sizes and colors of cars that people buy. With dozens of examples drawn from history, Socionomic Studies of Society and Culture reveals a remarkably simple way to do exactly that.

Understand -- and even anticipate -- pop culture trends
The Socionomics Institute’s tome rewrites the book on what makes pop culture popular. Each chapter unveils how you can understand -- and sometimes even anticipate -- trends in areas from fast cars to superstars and from sex to the cineplex. Delightfully fun and seriously useful, Robert Prechter and fellow contributors will change your view of the world around you. They empower you to peer around the corner and anticipate a new trend before anyone else does. Whether your interests are reflected in Scientific American, The Wall Street Journal, Cosmopolitan, Rolling Stone or Variety, you will find a wonderfully rich world in the field of socionomics.
What Readers Say
I strongly recommend that both of these books [Socionomic Studies of Society and Culture and Socionomic Causality in Politics] be used by colleges and universities in all courses related to the social sciences.
Whether your focus is investing, politics, marketing or business strategy, Bob’s new books will help you to better understand the crazy world around us and to take advantage of the opportunities that are out there.
Read Full Review on LinkedInWhatever your tastes, however specialized your interests, you will find a tremendous wealth of thought-provoking analysis in this book. The articles flow smoothly from first to last. They are easy to read and succinct in making their point. This is one book you will return to over and over. Don’t miss out, get with the times and discover the true nature of the effects of social moods on modern (and ancient) history.
This is a book for readers who are independent thinkers, interested in questions like ‘what drives man?’ and ‘why do certain things seem to appear and then vanish depending on the times?’ The approach of the book is absolutely fascinating.
This volume [provides] both practical examples and perhaps kick-off points for new researchers to examine how mood drives everything from construction to fashion. Researchers in almost any field will find an application of how social mood activates social change.
Thoroughgoing ... Innovative.
I have to start wrapping my mind around your socionomic way of thinking. Your book gets me to thinking differently about cause and effect, and timing. It may take a while to get right.
