Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this thought-provoking episode, Tom Bilyeu sits down with Scott Galloway for a no-holds-barred conversation on the state of America’s economy, generational divides, and the future of capitalism. Together, they dive into the hard questions: Why are Boomers thriving while younger generations struggle to get ahead? What’s fueling the rise of cronyism and political polarization—and why does class mobility feel increasingly impossible?
Scott Galloway shares sharp insights on topics like entitlements, tax policy, and structural barriers facing young Americans—from housing affordability and stagnating wages to the corrosive effects of monopolies and regulatory capture. The pair debate solutions ranging from progressive taxation and the need for genuine competition to massive investments in housing, education, and healthcare.
But the discussion isn’t just about economics. Tom Bilyeu and Scott Galloway also unpack the psychological side of money, the shifting expectations around masculinity, relationships, and what it means for young men navigating today’s world. Throughout, they challenge each other—and listeners—to think critically about what kind of future we’re building.
If you’re curious about how we got here and what can be done to move the needle, this episode is a must-listen. Let’s get into it!
