This morning on The Macro Show, renowned author of "The Fourth Turning" and Hedgeye Demography analyst Neil Howe discussed an alternative approach and understanding to the “Fourth Turning.” 

Contrary to the popular belief that the “Fourth Turning” is marked exclusively by chaos and decline, Howe sees it as a pivotal moment that can drive meaningful change.

“People often ask me, ‘why do you look forward to the future the way you do?’” said Howe. “I basically say, this is how we solve problems.”

“What democracies can’t handle well is affluence and purposelessness. They’re very good at handling purpose and challenge. I think that the Fourth Turning is the season when that is triggered.”

“The Fourth Turning culminates by rejuvenating our institutions.”
