Show notes

History tells us that civilizations and societies boom, bust and rise anew to repeat the pattern -- a pattern that demographer Neil Howe says is surprisingly predictable in both its timing and trajectory.Howe refers to these "seasons" of societal change as "turnings", and has famously has declared America is now well into a Fourth Turning, the "bust" part of its cycle -- where the status quo falls apart -- often chaotically -- and is replaced by a brand new order.Well, in its first 100 days, the Trump administration has certainly made big -- and some would day disruptive or even chaotic -- strides in its attempt to replace the previous status quo with a new playbook, both domestically and internationally.Is this the kind of textbook Fourth Turning upheaval that Howe expected?To find out, as well as what further transformation he expects ahead, we'll ask the man himself.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?
