In this latest episode of Demography Unplugged, I sat down with special guest and long-time friend John Mauldin for a wide-ranging discussion of everything from politics and social trends to demography and economics.

John queries me on generations and turnings, and I query him on some of his provocative views--e.g., that we are on track for a recession in 2020 and that, longer term, "we are turning Japanese we really think so" (to crib some new-wave lyrics from the Vapors).

John and I talk frequently anyway. So we thought we should make these conversations a regular Demography Unplugged feature.
