Famed demographer Neil Howe, the author of the best-selling book The Fourth Turning, lays out his prediction that today's society has entered the "bust" part of our current cycle -- where the status quo falls apart, often chaotically -- to be replaced by a new, hopefully better, order.

What should we expect from this period of disruption?

How bad will things get? How long will it last?

And are there steps we can take now to improve our odds of persevering?

In this new interview, Neil provides a highly-detailed picture of what to expect from the coming decade-plus of disruption.

Howe explains why the weight of history strongly suggests we are headed into a decade-plus period of economic and social disruption that will transform our political, economic, financial and social systems.

Volatility will reign. Crushing inflation looks likely. We may see a stock market crash and widespread job losses. Perhaps even war.

But what does this all mean for investors?
