Catherine's taking a break this week. In the meantime, we want to reshare one of our essential episodes on demographics. As you all know, by 2050, one in four people will be African. How do demographers reach this conclusion? And how does Africa's population growth intersect with population declines in the Global North?   To answer these questions, Catherine was joined by Dr. Jennifer D. Sciubba, President and CEO of the Population Reference Bureau and one of the foremost experts in the field of political demography.  Dr. Sciubba breaks down how demographers project future populations and the drivers of population growth. They discuss the limited window to take advantage of Africa's demographic dividend, the population decline debate in the West, and why overpopulation is a contentious term. They also discuss how politics, cultural norms, women's empowerment, and the autonomy to not have children factor into population growth.

When we talk about households led by single parents, we often think about mothers. But a rising number of families are led by single fathers: men who are parenting alone by choice – whether through adoption or surrogacy – or because of divorce, separation or widowhood. Single dads often have the same challenges as single mothers because the economics and emotional work of parenting solo are not always easy. Yet, single fathers also report being lonelier and less sure of how to access support than mothers. We'll look at the experience of single fatherhood and hear from you: are you a single dad or were you raised by one? What's your story?

In this conversation, Wade Pfau and Alex Murguia discuss retirement planning topics including market downturns, buffer assets, demographic trends, and emerging products like tontines and buffered ETFs. They highlight how historical market performance shapes future expectations and emphasize the role of strategic asset allocation in retirement income planning. Takeaways Market downturns can last longer than five years, impacting retirement planning. Buffer assets can help retirees weather market downturns without selling at a loss. Demographic trends may influence market performance and interest rates in the future. Modern tontines could provide innovative solutions for retirement income. Combining safety for essential expenses with discretionary spending can optimize retirement income. Historical returns should not be the sole basis for future market assumptions. Buffered ETFs may serve as effective tools for risk diversification in high market valuation environments. Understanding the liquidity and terms of financial products is crucial for effective retirement planning. Technological advances may reshape traditional financial products like tontines. A diversified portfolio can help manage risks associated with market fluctuations.   Chapters   00:00 Introduction and Technical Setup 03:58 Market Downturns and Retirement Planning 12:59 Buffer Assets in Retirement 19:09 Tontines and Modern Financial Solutions 23:06 Combining Safety and Growth in Retirement Income 29:07 Buffered ETFs and Risk Diversification 33:31 Retirement Income Perspectives 34:06 Market Valuations and Investment Strategies   Links Explore the New RetireWithStyle.com!

The Great Rebalancing: Why Debt, Demographics, and Politics Will Crush Forward Returns | Sony Kapoor

In Episode 436 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with economist, policy adviser, and investor Sony Kapoor about why developed world demographics, debt, and political sclerosis will crush forward returns for investors who fail to rebalance their portfolios for the new investment paradigm. Kapoor and Kofinas spend the first hour of their conversation unpacking the thesis explored by Sony in two of his papers: “Winter Is Coming” and “The Case for a Great Rebalancing” in which he argues that global capital has been increasingly misallocated due to factors such as the growth of passive indexation, maladaptive benchmarking, and an excessive focus on short-term performance at the expense of long-term returns. They explore how demographic tailwinds in advanced economies have flipped into headwinds; whether AI driven productivity gains can realistically offset the drag of declining birth rates; why accommodative post GFC monetary and fiscal policies undermined political stability in developed countries; and what recent stresses—including dollar weakness, Treasury market liquidity scares, and an increased reliance on short-term debt financing—suggest about looming financial repression, fiscal dominance, and a rotation out of U.S. capital markets. The second hour is devoted to a conversation about investor incentives, market structure, investment opportunities in emerging markets, and how to construct a more diversified portfolio suitable for the world that is coming into being. Demetri and Sony discuss why political and currency risks may now be lower for a diversified emerging markets basket than for a similarly diversified portfolio of developed market assets. They discuss what a reweighting toward emerging markets could look like; why India stands out given its digital public rails and domestic-demand engine; how places like Indonesia, Brazil, and Nigeria fit into a rebalancing; and how to think about geopolitics, US policy risk, and portfolio construction in this new paradigm.

The technological revolution of artificial intelligence isn't just changing how businesses operate—it's transforming how they're governed. In this riveting conversation, we're joined by Dean Yoost, former senior partner at PWC, and Ashwin Rangan, CEO of DoubleCheck, to explore their groundbreaking book "Governance in the Age of AI: A Director's Handbook."Our guests challenge popular misconceptions about artificial intelligence, arguing that what we call "AI" isn't truly intelligent but rather a sophisticated mathematical prediction engine. This distinction has profound implications for corporate leadership. As Rangan explains, these systems lack the ethical discernment and value judgment capabilities that humans bring to decision-making—a critical limitation that board directors must understand.The business landscape is rapidly evolving under AI's influence. According to research cited, approximately half of middle management positions may disappear or be fundamentally redefined by 2028. This raises urgent questions: Who bears responsibility when AI-informed decisions go wrong? How will corporate hierarchies adapt? What skills will remain uniquely valuable for humans?Both experts emphasize that tomorrow's leaders need a deeper technological understanding than previous generations required. "The technology and strategy discussions are now the same," Hust observes. "You can't be an effective board member without having more than passive knowledge of what's happening in the technology world." Yet they equally stress the enduring importance of wisdom, justice, courage, and moderation—classical virtues that machines cannot replicate.For educators, parents, and aspiring business leaders, this conversation offers crucial guidance on preparing for an AI-transformed future. Rather than focusing solely on technical skills, our guests advocate for revitalizing broader discussions of ethics, critical thinking, and human values. As technology increasingly answers "can we do this?" questions, humans must focus on the "should we do this?" considerations that require judgment and ethical reasoning.Join us for this thought-provoking exploration of how organizations can thoughtfully integrate AI while preserving and enhancing what makes us distinctly human.

"The way that institutions emerge and entrench themselves and become a part of the functioning of an economy and society is because they solve some problems. So they're usually a non-market solution toward solving some problem that the economy, that the market system couldn't necessarily solve. Of course the most prominent example of an institution that solves an. Market problem in the non-market way is a firm, as Ronald Coase, of course very early on, taught us that. When a firm realizes that in some cases when transactions costs are high, you want to internalize things within the firm. That the firm is itself an institution. But these other social political institutions, they also exist to resolve some problem. And once they resolve that problem and they're resolving it adequately, then it becomes really hard to bring about change. So the institution solves a problem. So to be clear, it is better than in the absence of the institution, but it also means that without somehow breaking this institution or having some crisis that leads you to substantially reform the institution, you are going to be stuck at a suboptimal equilibrium." - Jamus Lim, author of "Asian Economies: History, Institutions and Structures" Fresh out of the studio, Associate Professor Jamus Lim from ESSEC Business School and author of "Asian Economies: History, Institutions and Structures" joined us in a comprehensive exploration of the economic foundations shaping Asia's remarkable rise. Jamus shared his story on how the Asian Financial Crisis sparked his passion for macroeconomics and development. He unpacked the critical yet often overlooked role of geography, history, and institutional frameworks in explaining Asia's immense economic diversity, arguing that abstract economic models fail to capture the real-world complexities driving regional development. Through deep dives into China's demographic transition and export-driven challenges, South Korea's state-led chaebol industrialization model, and Japan's historic shift from deflation to inflation, Jamus demonstrated how colonial legacies and historical persistence continue to shape modern economic structures across the continent. Throughout the conversation, he revealed why China's middle-income trap escape depends on building domestic consumption to absorb its massive manufacturing capacity, explained how institutional solutions that once solved problems can become growth constraints, and argued that understanding Asia's past is essential for navigating its economic future in an increasingly complex global landscape.

The global balance of power is undergoing a dramatic transformation that extends far beyond the US-China rivalry dominating Western headlines. This eye-opening conversation with experts from three continents reveals how developing nations are reshaping international relations through demographic advantages, economic growth, and strategic non-alignment.Our panel delivers surprising insights about Africa's explosive potential, where the median age is just 19 and five of the world's ten fastest-growing economies are located. You'll discover how China has established control of 70 ports across 32 African countries while Western powers have grown "shy" about asserting their values and interests. The emerging importance of Namibia—with press freedom rivaling Western democracies and potentially the largest offshore oil discovery in history—challenges conventional thinking about Africa's future.India's remarkable trajectory takes center stage as Professor Pradip Shukla explains how the world's most populous nation, with 40% of its population under 25, is projected to become the second-largest global economy by 2050. India's strategic balancing act between the US, Russia, and China offers a blueprint for success in this new multipolar reality.From Latin America, we learn how China has displaced the United States as the primary commercial partner across the region, making billion-dollar infrastructure investments while American influence wanes. The stark contrast between China's port development in Peru versus America's response limited to social media statements illustrates the shifting landscape of regional influence.The conversation culminates with a provocative discussion about how Western nations might regain lost ground, including the strategic use of tariffs as leverage. Our experts suggest that countries avoiding rigid ideological positions may ultimately prove most successful in navigating this complex new world order.Listen now to understand the profound forces reshaping global power dynamics and why developing nations will increasingly determine our collective future.Support Our WorkThe Center for Demographics and Policy focuses on research and analysis of global, national, and regional demographic trends and explores policies that might produce favorable demographic results over time.

Send us a text by clicking this link!Dr. Taylor Marshall joins Avoiding Babylon and first explores Pope Leo XIV's first months leading the Catholic Church and what this new papacy means for traditional Catholics worldwide. After more than a decade of restrictions under Pope Francis, Marshall advocates patience and prayer as Leo navigates Vatican politics while showing promising signs of respect for tradition.The conversation delves into Marshall's thoughtful distinction between modern Christian nationalism and authentic Catholic patriotism. His forthcoming book "Christian Patriot: 12 Ways to Create One Nation Under God" offers a roadmap for cultural renewal grounded in natural law, Church teaching, and the social kingship of Christ. Unlike many Protestant approaches to Christian politics, Marshall draws from the rich tradition of Catholic social thought dating back to St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas.Demographics emerge as a powerful undercurrent in the discussion, with traditional Catholic communities growing through significantly higher birth rates while progressive parishes struggle to maintain attendance. Marshall projects that this "demographics is destiny" reality will inevitably reshape the Church regardless of current policies or restrictions. The hosts explore how America's unique Catholic landscape differs from the more secularized European context, creating both challenges and opportunities.The episode takes a fascinating turn as Marshall shares Catholic perspectives on apocalyptic prophecy that contrast sharply with popular dispensationalist interpretations, particularly regarding Israel and end-times events. Throughout, Marshall maintains that regardless of whether we face minor tribulations or major apocalyptic events, Catholics are called to consistent faithfulness—loving enemies while building cultures that reflect Christ's teachings.Pre-order Marshall's book at ChristianPatriotBook.com and discover a compelling vision for cultural renewal rooted in the Catholic intellectual tradition.Support the showSponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

There is no housing market; there are housing markets. We all know that, but all too often forget. Now, as mortgage rates and increasing supply challenge the for-sale sector, rental supply has tapered from its peak, and that sector is firming. Moreover, dynamics vary, often markedly, depending on geography. The nation is dotted with dozens of rental markets that sum to a whole, but each has a different story. On this podcast, Chris Nebenzahl and Zak Nyberg join Dean Wehrli to weave us through the rental market maze. Chris is JBREC's Vice President of Rental Research, who keeps an eye on national trends. Zak is a Vice President of our consulting practice who has conducted rental feasibility work throughout the Sun Belt markets and up the Atlantic Seaboard. We cover supply and demand, rental trends, regional variations, amenities, the capital markets, and more in this episode.

Summary In this episode of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters discusses various aspects of the firearms industry, including concerns about its health, market dynamics, and the demographics of gun buyers. He engages with Lee the Gunwriter Williams on topics such as Washington State's gun legislation and the potential impact of Supreme Court decisions on gun rights. The conversation emphasizes the importance of supporting gun rights organizations and staying informed about legislative changes. Takeaways The firearms industry is currently experiencing a slowdown in sales, but it is not in crisis. Consumer behavior is influenced by political climate and fears of future legislation. Demographics of gun buyers are changing, with more women and minorities entering the market. Many new gun buyers may not become repeat customers due to their initial motivations for purchasing firearms. Washington State's gun laws are under scrutiny, with ongoing legal battles over magazine capacity restrictions. The Supreme Court's decisions will significantly impact gun rights and legislation across the country. Gun rights organizations are becoming more unified in their efforts to protect the Second Amendment. The market will eventually stabilize, leading to lower prices for consumers. Innovation in the firearms industry is crucial for survival during economic downturns. Support for gun rights organizations is essential for maintaining freedoms.

Here is a 300-word summary of the podcast transcript: The podcast features an in-depth discussion with Melody Holt, an expert in housing and mortgage markets, exploring the complex dynamics of the current US housing landscape. Holt's background in macro economics and mortgage lending provides her with a unique perspective on the housing market's evolution and potential risks. Holt argues that the housing market has fundamentally transformed since the late 1980s, shifting from a focus on first-time homebuyers to an investment-driven ecosystem. The average household size has dramatically decreased to 2.5 people, reflecting significant demographic changes. She highlights how the market has become increasingly dominated by investors, short-term rentals, and speculation, rather than serving traditional family housing needs. A critical concern is the rise of non-bank lenders, which now comprise 85% of mortgage lending. These institutions lack the financial cushioning of traditional banks and are potentially vulnerable to economic shifts. Holt warns that the current housing market is facing multiple challenges, including overbuilding, misallocated inventory, and declining affordability for younger generations. Demographics present another significant challenge. The United States is not maintaining population replacement rates, with an aging population of baby boomers who own the majority of homes. Holt predicts a potential significant market correction, potentially as dramatic as the 2008 financial crisis, where home prices could realign more closely with median household incomes. The discussion emphasizes the complexity of the housing market, pointing out systematic issues like securitization, government intervention, and misleading data reporting. Holt advises consumers to be cautious about taking on debt and to conduct thorough personal research before making significant housing decisions. Ultimately, Holt suggests the housing market may be heading toward a period of correction, where prices could dramatically realign with economic fundamentals. She recommends skepticism toward mainstream narratives and encourages individuals to carefully evaluate their personal financial circumstances before committing to major housing investments.

AI, Demographic Shifts, and the Fourth Turning—How to Thrive in the Storm   "If you knew the world was about to change forever… would you brace for impact or learn to ride the wave?" We're living in a moment of seismic transformation: AI is rewriting the rules of work, demographics are reshaping economies, and the Fourth Turning is challenging every institution we once trusted. Yet most people are frozen—clinging to outdated maps while the landscape beneath them crumbles. This episode isn't about fear—it's about clarity. Because history doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme. And if you learn to hear the rhythm, you can move with it, not against it.   The transformation isn't about technology—it's about agency. You don't need to predict every future trend. You need to become the kind of person who can adapt faster than the world changes. This episode will help you shift from being a passive observer of change to an active participant in shaping it. When you stop resisting the wave and start riding it, you don't just survive—you gain freedom.   4 Pillar-Aligned Takeaways:  [Wealth] The End of "Set It and Forget It": Globalization is fracturing, inflation is real, and AI is upending industries. The era of blind trust in systems is over—you must design your own financial playbook. [Purpose] From Survival to Significance: If AI could give you all the money you'd ever need, what would still get you out of bed? That question will anchor you when the old ways of working no longer apply. [Health] Resilience Is the New Currency: Mental and physical strength aren't optional—they are your first line of defense against uncertainty. Without health, you can't ride the wave. [Time] Choosing the Lead Domino: In a world of infinite noise, focus is freedom. Master one skill or habit at a time to build compound momentum.   Money Learning: "Abundance starts when you stop needing the outcome." The biggest money shift in this episode is learning to see wealth not as a finish line but as a tool. Your financial choices aren't about “winning” the game—they're about creating optionality in a world that won't stop changing.   About Rocky: Rocky Lalvani serves as Chief Profitability Adviser for business owners.

The widening gender gap is reshaping American society in profound and troubling ways. Join hosts Marshall Toplansky and Joel Kotkin as they dive deep into this growing divide with Christine Emba, author of "Rethinking Sex: A Provocation," and Aaron Renn, writer of "Life in the Negative World."Drawing from fresh research including focus groups conducted in Raleigh, North Carolina, our guests reveal a dating landscape filled with mutual misunderstanding and pessimism. Women are becoming more progressive and educationally advanced, while men appear to be falling behind economically and educationally, creating a perfect storm of resentment and confusion about gender roles.This isn't just an American phenomenon—countries like South Korea are experiencing similar challenges, with political polarization intensifying the divide between genders. Young men trend more conservative while young women move further left, making dating across ideological lines increasingly rare. Is this creating a return to a quasi-feudal structure where only high-status men find partners while many others remain single?The conversation explores how non-binary identities, the prevalence of single-parent households, and the rise of technologies like pornography and AI are further complicating human connection. These artificial substitutes for relationships serve as "anesthetics" that prevent people from experiencing the discomfort needed to make positive changes in their lives.Despite these challenges, our guests offer pathways forward. They emphasize treating finding a partner with the same intentionality as career development, the importance of media portraying healthy relationships, and the critical role older adults can play as mentors for younger generations navigating these complex waters without guidance.Listen now to understand the forces driving men and women apart and what we might do to rebuild the bridges between them.

Jewish Migration: The Southern Shift

America's Jewish geography is undergoing a dramatic transformation, shifting from its historical concentration in the Northeast to flourishing communities across the South and West. This fascinating evolution reflects broader demographic patterns while revealing unique insights about Jewish identity, community formation, and cultural adaptation.Demographic expert Ira Sheskin takes us through the numbers, showing how the Jewish population in the Northeast has declined from two-thirds after WWII to approximately 40% today, while Southern states — particularly Florida — have experienced remarkable growth. He notes the concentration in metropolitan areas while rural Southern states maintain minimal Jewish presence. This isn't merely statistical shuffling but represents profound changes in how Jewish Americans live, work, and practice their faith.Through personal narratives, we hear from those who've made this journey. Mark Goldman shares his experience relocating from New York to Atlanta in 1990, drawn by professional opportunities but facing occasional discomfort in a region with complicated historical attitudes toward Jews. Meanwhile, Israeli entrepreneur Tal Shmueli provides a fresh perspective on Austin's rapidly growing Jewish community, describing how in just four years he's witnessed an explosion of Jewish businesses, cultural offerings, and community infrastructure.The conversation takes a revealing turn when discussing religious practice and identity. Miami stands out as an exception to national trends, with younger Jews actually more likely to maintain strong connections to Israel and religious tradition than their elders. Chabad emerges as a particularly successful model for engaging Jews across regions, adapting its approach to be welcoming and community-focused while maintaining traditional values. This raises fascinating questions about how Jewish identity will continue to evolve in these new geographical contexts.Want to understand how American Jewish communities are reinventing themselves in unexpected places?

Global birth rates are collapsing—sometimes to half the level needed to keep populations stable. UT-Austin's Michael Geruso explains how that trend could shrink the world's population from eight billion to three billion in just three generations. He unpacks the silent drivers behind falling fertility, why cash incentives rarely work, and what disappearing people mean for innovation, cities, pensions, and geopolitical power. If you've never worried about a world that's too small, this conversation will change your mind.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 572 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - How to avoid being triggered, is there a new shift in the demographics of guitarists, and the ultimate MIDI course is here... Richard educates the guys on the recent Glastonbury festival and some of the controversy that surrounded a certain act - and he has also got some observations on the music too which made him very happy. He also apologizes for any dog squeaker noises you may hear from his enthusiastic puppy. Are we seeing a rise in a new demographic for guitar players? An article in Guitar World made the guys ponder something about the current guitar buying public and it has got the old grey matter moving a little. Brian ponders whether he should create an Only Fans site. Yes, that is what I said. Brian has finally released the Ultimate MIDI course over at GuitarPedalHorse, sorry GuitarPedalCourse.com and the guys discuss this. It is a really big deal to Richard and he is audibly excited when Brian pays him a complement. Blake tries to convince Richard to oil up and wiggle into the Black Sabbath concert and finally the guys discuss whether or not guitar YouTube is dying. John Fogerty's plaid Les Paul, Yussef Dayes, Is that a butt or is that his back?
