In her budget the Chancellor increased the state pension by 4.8 % in line with the government's triple lock formula. It was good news for pensioners but is it good news for the young? A constant background to spending and economic decisions for well over a decade now has been an argument about generational injustice. That the young are getting poorer. David Aaronovitch and guests look at the facts and ask whether the old are robbing the young and if so what should be done about it?Guests: Bobby Duffy, Professor of Public Policy at King's College, London Sophie Hale, Principal Economist, Resolution Foundation Xiaowei Xu, Senior Research Economist at the Institute for Fiscal Studies Jane Falkingham Professor of Demography, Southampton UniversityPresenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Cordelia Hemming, Kirsteen Knight Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineer: James Beard Editor: Richard Vadon

Episode: 1479 The riddle of more grandparents than people.  Today, you and I are kin.

In an imperial world in which a few powers divide the globals spoils among them, Europe is faced with huge challenges. Those who do not have a place at the table find themselves on the menu. In this episode I think about the fundamental challenges of autonomy, sustainability and democracy. Europeans will have to decide whether they are willing to fight for their autonomy or whether they are happy to see the continent of the former colonisers finally turn into a colony itself.Support the show

The Future of Employment in Africa: Demography, Labor Markets and Welfare explores the major trends that will define the face of the sub-Saharan continent in the next three decades. The near doubling of Africa's population by 2050 will lead to more than twenty million new job seekers entering the African labor market every year until then. Right now, Africa doesn't seem able to offer jobs to this many people, resulting in possible unrest and intra-African or intercontinental migration flows, including to Europe. Climate change creates additional migratory pressure as it threatens the future of agriculture and livestock. The author explores the opportunities for increased job creation in Africa. Fortunately, Africa has some major strengths. Africans excel in market-creating innovation: the ability to see market opportunities and innovations that others do not. Many Africans create their own jobs through micro and small enterprises. A young well-trained middle class, familiar with digital technologies, is emerging. Africa's abundant natural resources attract global powers like China aspiring to secure access to critical raw materials. The author challenges pessimistic message about the continent and provides an optimistic view of Africa's future. Learn more about your ad choices.

Join Saad Ahmed and Qayyum for Tuesday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘ Dementia' and ‘British Muslims and Loyalty?' Dementia As people live longer, dementia is becoming a major health and social concern. This episode looks at what dementia is, how it affects the brain, and how it impacts families and communities. Experts discuss the causes and treatments, while carers share their experiences of looking after loved ones and the challenges they face day to day. British Muslims and Loyalty The Islamic principle “Hubb ul Watni minal Iman” means “Loving one's nation is part of faith.” This show explores how Muslim Brits live by this teaching and how their integration shapes British society and its values. Amid rising xenophobia, divisive politics, and identity struggles, we'll examine the reality of Muslim integration — are British Muslims changing Britain, or helping preserve its true values? Guests :  Kate Swaffer - Internationally Recognised Advocate, Author and Speaker on Dementia and Human Rights Howard Chertkow - Scientific Director of the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging and a Professor of Neurology Jorg Friedrichs - Associate Professor at the Oxford Department of International Development David Goodhart - Founder of Prospect Magazine and Head of the Demography, Immigration and Integration Unit at Policy Exchange Mohammad Ahmed - Local Youth Lead Producers: Hubbatul Waheed and Shamamah Ahmad Dogar

India, home to 1.45 billion people, recently overtook China as the world's most populous country. Yet, behind this demographic milestone lies an unexpected challenge. While national leaders once warned that a large population could hinder development, several southern states are now facing the opposite problem – falling fertility rates. This decline is more than just a demographic issue. A shrinking birth rate could reduce the future workforce, strain healthcare and social services, and weaken political influence, since parliamentary representation and federal funding are tied to population size.

Many Americans on both sides of the political aisle agree polarization is a major problem. But do many Americans on either side truly understand the other side's world view and contributions? Dr. John Iceland, Sociology and Demography professor at Penn State, shares how in this American democracy, we can understand the social justice and social order perspectives and the value of respecting others with differing opinions.Check out John's book HERE!Support the showVisit georgewashingtoninstitute.org to sign up for our e-mail list!

Several new portfolios have been created in the current European Commission, to reflect the EU's changing priorities. One of those is a Commissioner for the Mediterranean. This is a crucial region for the EU, as the bloc grapples with difficult issues such as migration, climate and energy. The EU wants to pursue this southern pivot by signing a Pact for the Mediterranean with North African and Middle Eastern countries. Our guest is the EU's Commissioner for the Mediterranean, Dubravka Suica. She is a Croatian centre-right politician and she held the Democracy and Demography portfolio in the first von der Leyen Commission, from 2019 to 2024. She has also been an MEP. 

In this episode of Pekingology, CSIS Senior Fellow Henrietta Levin is joined by Dinny McMahon, Head of China Markets Research at Trivium China, and Andrew Polk, Co-Founder and Head of Economic Research at Trivium China. Dinny and Andrew discuss their new Freeman Chair report,China's Economic Transition: Debt, Demography, Deglobalization, and Scenarios for 2035. The conversation unpacks the structural challenges facing China's economy, why the next decade will be decisive in whether China can escape the middle-income trap, and who really matters when it comes to economic policy-making in Beijing.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg Key Takeaways  Maxims from philosopher king, Chris Williamson: Peace is a performance enhancerDo not feel shame in taking pleasure in the small thingsYou are enough already, but you can be more  Delayed gratification in the extreme results in no gratification If you are unduly absorbed in improving your life, you might forget to live itThe price of anything is the amount of life that you exchange for it  When a man can't find a deep sense of pleasure, he distracts himself with meaningScarcity and unavailability are often mistaken for worth Demography is destiny; declining birth rates are existential  We remember the noise of bad choices, but we rarely count the cost of silence The monster you create to achieve initial success might not serve you later in your journeyMonotony is the enemy of a well-remembered life: Time flies as we get older because we cannot remember our days, and we do not remember them because we haven't done anything memorable Put down your ruminating brain: Overthinking invents more problems than it solvesAttaining something worthwhile is often going to be difficult, but just because it is difficult does not mean that it is worthwhile Errors of commission bruise the ego, but errors of omission starve the soul Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.org(0:00) Bestie intros!

Las reacciones al asesinato de Charlie Kirk ha revelado hasta qué punto está podrida la izquierda en todo su segmento, extremo y mainstream. No es solo la intolerable jauría humana que interrumpió el minuto de silencio en el Parlamento europeo, o la infecta alocución llena de palabrería de Àngels Barceló, y ya no digamos las deposiciones del nieto de Cambó –¡él sí familiarizado con el fascismo!–, sino ese aparentemente sutil editorial del New York Times. Las ideas políticas dan igual en el momento en que matan a un hombre. Sobre todo en este caso, cuando han matado a alguien que quería convencer a los demás a través de la palabra. Kirk no era famoso, no era artista, no era un político: era un hombre que hablaba. Le parece muy bien el castigo de los líderes europeos a aquel empeño de Sánchez de marginarse para la foto de la Otan, y convertirlo en el apestado en que él y solo él quiso convertirse. Es el castigo que merece, pero no el que merece España. Y así, vuelve a echar de menos a Feijóo. ¿Tiene que guardar silencio siendo el líder de la oposición de la quinta economía del euro? ¡No! Sigue sin hacerle caso, lamentó, y se sigue comportando como el ganador de las elecciones que fueron pero no como el presidente del Gobierno que será. Ya puede ponerse las pilas, por muy mentiroso que sea el CIS de Tezanos, porque el discurso de Ayuso en Madrid poner de nuevo de manifiesto el duro filo por el que camina el liderazgo del PP. Comunicó todo lo que se va a hacer por mejorar la vida de Ahmed Toummouhi con el dinero recaudado y comentó un curioso burning paper que muestra que ganar en la cama será ganar en las urnas. Y fue así que Espada yiró.

Reviving Japan's countryside is a topic that's close to the heart of Shigeru Ishiba, the country's outgoing prime minister. Ishiba hails from a remote part of Japan and owes his political career to support from rural voters. This year, he doubled subsidies for local governments and appointed 180 "revitalisation officers". But the exodus from rural regions continues. Today, more than half of Japan's land is inhabited by less than 10 percent of the population. Yet generous incentives to encourage people living in cities to return to the countryside are having some success. FRANCE 24's Justin McCurry, Alexis Bregere, Mélodie Sforza, Ayana Nishikawa and Constantin Simon report.

SIR is Nothing - Modi Hints at NRC Under Demography Mission | Mamata Banerjee in a Tizzy

In this episode, Divya speaks with Sean Fox and Gregory Randolph about urbanization and how it is unfolding amid global shocks and affecting inequality. Sean Fox is a Professor of Geography and Global Development at the University of Bristol. His research focuses on the causes and consequences of global urbanization, the political economy of urban governance, and sustainable city futures. Gregory Randolph is an Assistant Professor in the School of City and Regional Planning at Georgia Tech. His work focuses on how local economies and urbanization patterns are being reshaped by 21st-century transitions namely technological, energy and demographic transitions, with a particular focus on inequality. Together, Sean and Gregory offer rich interdisciplinary insights that challenge conventional understandings of urbanization, showing that urbanization is not just about the growth of cities or a straightforward shift from rural to urban. Rather, it's a geo-demographic transformation that is deeply embedded in political, social, and economic processes. The conversation also sheds light on the hidden stories of urbanization in the global south for example, the stories of migration in the indian state of Bihar where Gregory has been working, deindustrialization, regional divergence, and the hollowing out of labor markets and how these processes contribute to interpersonal and inter-place inequalities. This episode was recorded at a time when massive wildfires in Los Angeles were making headlines everywhere, prompting a timely question for our guests: What should planners be thinking about as they rebuild cities after disasters? Both Sean and Gregory voiced serious concern about the increasing frequency and scale of natural disasters and how such events are amplifying pre-existing inequalities. They emphasized that recovery and rebuilding cannot be the task of planners alone. It must also be a political project—one that demands bold, inclusive, and forward-thinking political leadership committed to building cities that account for vulnerability, address structural inequalities, and prioritize resilience for all. Sean and Gregory are both compelling storytellers, and their work offers a grounded and timely lens on how urbanization is evolving in a world marked by rising uncertainties and deepening inequalities, and I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to engage with them and their brilliant & relevant scholarship   References:  Fox, S., & Goodfellow, T.

Dave Ramsey has helped millions of people take control of their finances—but does his advice make sense for physicians? In this episode of The Grow Your Wealthy Mindset, I break down where Ramsey's principles work and where they fall short for doctors. With our unique financial journey—years of training, six-figure student loan debt, and sudden income jumps—physicians need a more nuanced approach than blanket debt-aversion.From student loans and investing, to credit cards and retirement planning, I'll explain why following Ramsey's 7 Baby Steps might actually hurt more than help, especially if you're a physician working toward financial freedom.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why debt isn't always bad—especially when it's funding an income-producing asset like a medical degreeThe ROI of student loans and how to decide if borrowing for education makes senseWhy Ramsey's strict “no credit card” rule isn't practical—or always smart—for physiciansWhy delaying retirement investing for student loan payoff can cost youSocial Security data source:Tamborini, Christopher R., ChangHwan Kim, and Arthur Sakamoto. 2015.

Period tracking apps help you track your menstrual cycle, so you know when to expect your period. They're growing in popularity worldwide, with the three most popular ones racking up over 250 million downloads between them. But studies show that some women might also be using them to avoid getting pregnant. One of the apps, Natural Cycles, has been approved in the US to be used as a contraceptive. The company claims it is 93% effective at preventing pregnancies, when used perfectly. So why are more people turning to these apps? Are they safe to use as a contraceptive and what are the risks?Sexologist Rayka Kumru from Turkey explains why these period tracking apps are becoming so popular and the privacy concerns around using them. Dr Francesco Rampazzo, a lecturer in Demography at the University of Oxford, tells us more about where period tracking apps are getting the most downloads.

Ness Sandoval, Professor of Sociology and Demography at Saint Louis University, joins Megan Lynch with a look at the new data. He says international migration has offset domestic migration in the region. The region is getting older, not younger says Sandoval while other regions are building housing for families.

Spain's countryside is the most depopulated in Europe. Some villages have just one resident left in them. But locals are fighting back, determined to attract new inhabitants. FRANCE 24's Maude Petit-Jové and Maxime Bergeron report from Spanish two villages that are managing to turn the tide of urbanisation.

Discussion Highlights:Global demographic megatrends include aging populations, declining fertility rates, and diverging regional population dynamics.Migration patterns involve both forced displacement from conflict zones such as Ukraine and Palestine and labor migration from the Western Balkans, with climate-related movement remaining unpredictable.Depopulation in the Western Balkans is driven by inaccurate census data, economic factors that incentivize emigration, steadily declining fertility rates, and cultural influences on family size.Many countries in the region face labor shortages as plumbers, electricians, and healthcare workers emigrate, prompting policy responses to attract migrant labor, cover an estimated €600 million integration cost in Croatia, and implement language instruction and integration programs.Populist political discourse often exploits public fears about migration, while political leaders frequently show reluctance to acknowledge domestic labor shortages and plan beyond short electoral cycles.Europe's geopolitical context is shaped by U.S.-China competition, the continuation of the war in Ukraine, and uneven or delayed European responses to crises, such as the conflict in Gaza.The current EU enlargement process is critiqued as overly merit-based, and many argue for the package accession of all Western Balkan states, drawing lessons from Croatia's recent membership and anticipating a changing nature of the future European Union.Bosnia and Herzegovina's post-Dayton governance system succeeded in halting widespread violence but remains hampered by persistent power-sharing gridlock, redundant international structures such as the Office of the High Representative, and ongoing challenges in constitutional and education system reforms.Thirty years after Dayton, instances of inter-ethnic violence have remained low since 1995, but schooling and commemorative practices remain fragmented, and domestic dialogue on wartime accountability has stalled.EU integration offers the potential to replace international oversight with European Union frameworks while addressing governance deficits, pervasive corruption, and the need for electoral reforms.About Alida VračićAlida Vračić is a political scientist and lawyer. She co-founded and serves as executive director of Populari, a Sarajevo-based think tank specializing in post-conflict state-building, democratization, good governance, and migration in the Western Balkans.

With voters turning out in record numbers, South Korea has elected liberal leader Lee Jae-myung to lead the country left in turmoil by the brief imposition of martial law by Yoon Suk Yeol. The nation of 51 million people has the world's lowest birth rate and is now a "super-aged" society. South Korea saw its GDP forecast downgraded this Tuesday by the OECD as the group revised down growth prospects for most of the world amid US President Donald Trump's trade war. 

In his talk, “Demography, Religion, and the Eight-Billion Body Problem," Stephen Bullivant delves into the complex interplay between declining fertility rates, evolving religious landscapes, and shifting societal values, particularly in America. He explores how these interconnected trends are reshaping demographics, impacting the economy, and influencing geopolitics. Bullivant examines the rise of non-religious individuals, the role of immigration, and the significant challenges posed by an aging population, arguing that declining birth rates are linked to both decreasing religiosity and changes in values like patriotism and community involvement. While demographic shifts offer some predictability, Bullivant highlights the uncertain long-term consequences of these profound societal changes. The Morningside Institute hosted a two-day conference on April 4–5, 2025. On its first day, the conference examined some of the radical changes that Western societies are undergoing. On the second day, we explored in greater detail historical examples of how communities have navigated periods of intense cultural change and even devastation.

From bestselling authors and journalists Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson, Abundance is a call to renew a politics of plenty, face the failures of liberal governance, and abandon the chosen scarcities that have deformed American life. To trace the history of the twenty-first century so far is to trace a history of unaffordability and shortage. After years of refusing to build sufficient housing, America has a national housing crisis. After years of limiting immigration, we don't have enough workers. Despite decades of being warned about the consequences of climate change, we haven't built anything close to the clean-energy infrastructure we need. Ambitious public projects are finished late and over budget — if they are ever finished at all. The crisis that's clicking into focus now has been building for decades — because we haven't been building enough. Abundance explains that our problems today are not the results of yesteryear's villains. Rather, one generation's solutions have become the next gener­ation's problems. Authors Klein and Thompson contend that progress requires facing up to the institutions in life that are not working as they need to. It means, for liberals, recognizing when the government is failing. It means, for conservatives, recognizing when the government is needed. In a book exploring how we can move from a liberalism that not only protects and pre­serves but also builds, Klein and Thompson trace the political, economic, and cultural barriers to progress and propose a path toward a politics of abundance. At a time when movements of scarcity are gaining power in country after country, this is an answer that meets the challenges of the moment while grappling honestly with the fury so many rightfully feel. Co-author Derek Thompson joins us at Town Hall for a talk about his book, our current challenges, and the path forward. Derek Thompson is a staff writer at The Atlantic and the host of the podcast Plain English. He is the author of the national bestseller Hit Makers and On Work, an anthology of his writing on labor and technology. He lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

In this monologue, Kushal shares his views on a very sensitive topic. He tries to explain how memes (ideas) need a carrier i.e. humans. So a meme is dependent on the number of carriers it has. So if the carriers of a certain meme become more or if they control the levers of power they control the destiny of the rest of us. #tmc #BengalBurns #westbengal #WaqfBill #Kolkata #MurshidabadViolence #asimmunir #pakistan #islamism ------------------------------------------------------------ Listen to the podcasts on: SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/kushal-mehra-99891819 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1rVcDV3upgVurMVW1wwoBp Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-c%C4%81rv%C4%81ka-podcast/id1445348369 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/the-carvaka-podcast ------------------------------------------------------------ Support The Cārvāka Podcast: Buy Kushal's Book: https://amzn.in/d/58cY4dU Become a Member on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKPx...

Episode: 1353 In which we visit a small town.  Today, let's visit a small town.

Professor Eric Kaufmann discuss the evolution and future of woke, noting its peak and potential resurgence. It was not in fact ended by the reelection of Donald Trump, he argues, and in this interview explains why. Kaufmann argues that woke-ism, characterised by the sacralisation of marginalised groups, has seen a decline in corporate and educational practices but remains strong among younger generations. Will there be new versions of BLM, MeToo, Antifa as a reaction to Trump's second term? Are we already seeing it in response to Elon Musk, with the targeting of Tesla?Eric and Winston explore the concept of national identity in the era of “diversity is our greatest strength”. What is the truth about ethnonationaolsm? Is former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak English? They also explore the impact of immigration on social cohesion, and national identity.He notes that cultural debates, such as those over free speech and diversity, are a secondary response to populism. And that populism is a response to mass migration, Islam, LGBT and feminist issues.Eric Peter Kaufmann is a Canadian professor of politics at the University of Buckingham. He is author of several books including: ‘The Rise and Fall of Anglo-America: The Decline of Dominant Ethnicity in the United States', ‘Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth?: Demography and Politics in the Twenty-First Century', ‘Whiteshift: Populism, Immigration, and the Future of White Majorities' and ‘The Third Awokening'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters0:00 The End of Wokeism and Its Implications5:41 The Persistence of Woke Ideas10:39 The Role of Social Media in Shaping Woke Ideas26:17 The Future of Wokeism and The Complexity of National Identity40:14 The Role of Ethnicity and Religion in National Identity59:58 The Impact of Immigration on National Identity1:00:18 The Challenges of Integration and Assimilation1:05:46 The Future of Wokeism and National Identity1:08:01 Populism and Wokeness1:10:33 Cultural Wars and Diversity1:12:08 Closing thoughts Hosted on Acast.

It's easy to take growth for granted, for it to seem expected, inevitable even. Every person starts out as a baby and grows up. Plants grow from seeds into food. The economy grows. That stack of mail on your table grows. But why does anything grow the way that it does? In this hour, we go from the Alaska State Fair, to a kitchen in Brooklyn, to the deep sea, to ancient India, to South Korea, and lots of places in between, to investigate this question, and uncover the many forces that drive growth, sometimes wondrous, sometimes terrifying, and sometimes surprisingly, unnervingly fragile.Special thanks to Elie Tanaka, Keith Devlin, Deven Patel, Chris Gole, James Raymo and Jessica SavageEPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Matt Kielty, Becca Bressler, Pat Walters, Sindhu Gnanasambandun, Annie McEwen, Simon Adlerwith help from - Rae MondoProduced by - Matt Kielty, Becca Bressler, Pat Walters, Sindhu Gnanasambandun, Annie McEwen, Simon AdlerSound design contributed by - Jeremy Bloomwith mixing help from - Jeremy BloomFact-checking by - Emily Krieger and Natalie Middletonand Edited by  - Pat WaltersEPISODE CITATIONS:Audio:“The Joy of Why,” (https://www.quantamagazine.org/tag/the-joy-of-why/) Steve Strogatz's podcast. Articles:“The End of Children,”(https://zpr.io/WBdg6bi8xwnr) The New Yorker, by Gideon Lewis-KrausBooks:Finding Fibonacci (https://zpr.io/3EjviAttUFke) by Keith DevlinDo Plants Know Math (https://zpr.io/bfbTZDJ8ehx5) by Chris GoleSingup for our newsletter!!

The provision of care for dependents young and old is one of the great challenges of the modern age.The last 60 years have seen significant shifts in family and working lives with greater choice and autonomy bringing great gains for human freedom.Yet many private and public challenges and dilemmas remain. The social care system faces ever-rising demands and pressures. The vital skilled work of care – for the young, the elderly, the sick – remains undervalued and under-invested in. And women remain over-represented in the domain of care, in both the domestic realm and in the public economy.Amidst challenging demographics, declining birth-rates, and the evolving dynamics of modern family life, can we achieve a policy settlement that respects gender equality, meets the rising social need for care and attention, and properly rewards and recognises those who provide it? How do we provide greater support to the networks of relationships that care relies upon?Join David Goodhart and Vicky Pryce at the RSA to debate care, equality, and social progress in the next decade of the 21st century.SpeakersDavid Goodhart, Head of Demography, Immigration & Integration at Policy ExchangeVicky Pryce, economistBecome an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/ueemb Follow RSA Events on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thersaorg/ Follow the RSA on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theRSAorg Donate to the RSA: https://thersa.co/3XPiI1k Like RSA Events on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theRSAorg/ Listen to RSA Events podcasts: https://bit.ly/35EyQYU Join our Fellowship: https://www.thersa.org/fellowship/join

Steve-0 runs down 2024 new car sales: BMW leads the luxury market with Lexus number 2, pickups still rule, BEVs are stalling, and hybrids are surging. Oh, 24,000 people bought cybertrucks?!! Our trauma surgeon Dr Stephan Moran gives some love to modern ADAS (active driver assistance system) systems. Thanks to better software and machine learning, ADAS has become less "Karen" and more "chauffeur Jeeves". Adams, our collector car expert, discusses how boomer faves like muscle cars are fading while "fast and furious" cars like 90s civics and supras are ascendant. Demography is destiny, even in the collector car world. Finally, we give our 2025 predictions. #carsoncallpodcast #adas #collectorcars ⁠#carsoncallpodcast⁠ ⁠#adas⁠ ⁠#collectorcars

This Flashback Friday is from episode 249 published last March 20, 2012. Many demographic changes are taking place, with the Baby Boomers, a large generation, retiring, and Generation Y, a larger generation than the Baby Boomers, consuming at record levels.  Join Jason Hartman and demographer, Ken Gronbach, as they discuss this upcoming “storm.”  Ken describes Generation Y as an exciting generation, where the United States is the only country with this large of a group at the present time, and that it is very important that businesses recognize and anticipate their markets as Generation Y grows up. Generation X is more of a mystery generation because of its smaller size, which makes it less of a valuable market.  Ken believes that the United States' best days are ahead as people bail out of the European Union. He also believes that China's economic future is bleak due to artificial tampering with the population, with demographic numbers showing China in trouble economically within ten years, struggling to feed themselves within 15 years. Ken shows how the housing market is being held hostage by big bank foreclosures and why this log jam will soon correct and precipitate a restoration of the United States economy. Ken also talks about how manufacturing will return to the United States with a vengeance because the United States is the only industrialized nation with a huge young highly skilled workforce.   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Over two decades ago, Ruy Teixeira predicted that America was on its way to a bright blue future, thanks to an inevitable demographic shift that would deliver the Party a dominant, durable political coalition. “Demography is destiny” became the mantra of the Democratic Party—proven out by Obama's decisive 2008 electoral college win. But then, in 2016, Trump upended that coalition, and, consequently, anti-Trumpism naturally became a defining feature of the Democratic Party. But—beyond its opposition to Trump—what does the Democratic Party stand for today? With the Republican Party infected with extremism and so embarrassingly unable to govern, why aren't Democrats winning sustainable majorities? And why is the Democratic party still losing ground with some of the core parts of its base? In this two-part conversation, former Center for American Progress senior fellow Ruy Teixeira joins Ron Steslow to discuss his new book Where Have All the Democrats Gone? The Soul of the Party in the Age of Extremes.
