In his new book, which forms the basis of this event, Peter C. Oppenheimer discusses how structural changes in macroeconomic drivers, geopolitics, government policy and social attitudes all combine to drive secular super cycles that help to explain investor returns. 

He focuses on what he calls the Post-Modern cycle, what it's likely to look like, how it will unfold and what investors should focus on.

In case you missed it, a recording of the event is available here.
