    That's a useful link, thanks! Looks like Peter Laslett invented the term "third age", but it seems to have caught on better in Germany. Still, should be good for social science contexts.

    See pg. 232 above.

    "Third Age" is what he apparently called it.

    The "Fourth Age" is the bad one ... ;-)

    EDIT: I hadn't F5ed, but I'll leave the link anyway. Sorry.
