Carnegie Council's Devin Stewart speaks with Eurasia Group's Ian Bremmer about his company's top political risk forecast for the coming year and how scenarios, such as conflict over North Korea, could lead to the first great power conflict in years. Bremmer warns that the world has entered a "geopolitical recession," the likes of which we have not seen since World War II. "It's time to worry," concludes Bremmer.

From massive leaps in technology to ever-increasing globalization to the acceleration of climate change, workplace, politics, geopolitics, and ethics are all going through tectonic shifts.

Don't miss this important discussion.

Despite all the challenges, right now is one of the most exciting moments for a new generation to redefine journalism, says Charles Sennott.
