In this episode of "The Hundred Year Pivot," hosts Grant Williams and Demetri Kofinas interview Neil Howe, author of "The Fourth Turning," about generational theory and its implications for understanding current events. They discuss the growing sense of a Fourth Turning in America, characterized by political polarization, institutional upheaval, and a search for community. Howe reflects on living through events he predicted decades ago, comparing the Trump administration to FDR's and noting the potential for both internal and external conflict. The conversation explores the role of religion, gender roles, and economic inequality in the current turning, as well as potential future scenarios, including a darker, more authoritarian path and the possibility of conflict with China.
