IL20: How to Survive the Current Fourth Turning ft. Neil Howe
Top Traders Unplugged
The Relationship Between Abraham Lincoln and William Seward
A look at the dynamic between Abraham Lincoln and William Seward during Lincoln's presidency, including Seward's controversial memo and the concept of external and internal dimensions in historical crises.
Best-selling author and renowned historian Neil Howe joins the show to talk about his New York Times’ bestselling book The Fourth Turning Is Here. Neil believes history moves in generational cycles that last about the length of one long human life. Each cycle has four eras - Turnings - that always arrive in the same order and last about twenty years. We are now midway through a Fourth Turning which is a time of exceptional upheaval and conflict. Previous Fourth Turnings happened during the Great Depression and WWII, the American Civil War and the American Revolution. The good news is a society that successfully navigates a Fourth Turning emerges reborn - more equal, more optimistic and more united. We discuss the implications of this era for financial markets, why it will be the Millennial generation that leads us through the coming conflict and what will characterize the world that emerges afterwards.
