George Friedman on The Gallup Podcast: Will the 2020s Be a ‘Storm’ That Leads to ‘Calm’ in the U.S.?

Pointing to key moments in history, Friedman argues that the country cyclically finds itself in a state of crisis every 80 years -- and that these moments are drivers of major change as the U.S. "reinvents itself, in a form both faithful to its founding and radically different from what it had been."
