  • Intergenerational theft and the cramming of prosperity into seniors’ pockets is creating a flawed economy that is weaponized by rich people and broken for young people, says NYU Professor and serial entrepreneur Scott Galloway. Galloway spoke with Kyla Scanlon about worrisome trends he sees for young Americans, the formula for becoming wealthy, and how to win in a capitalist society.
    His new book, ⁠The Algebra of Wealth: A Simple Formula for Financial Security⁠, is available for pre-order.

    As someone who is under 40, and ELECTED to local government. You are 100% correct about the cost of permits and the barriers to housing.
    There is constant push for us to "preserve our neighborhood character" by embalming it with regulations. Whenever more property restrictions are proposed, it is marketed that "the developer" will pay the costs, rather than the existing taxpayers.
    So the next generation is burdened with the costs and barriers, and the "grey tsunami" that pushes for it don't have to pay for it?
    I don't think the solution to this problem (local government permits) is more diverse taxation at the local level, but to reduce the amount of permits that are required to pursue economic development on their own property.

      If you listen to the long form interviews and podcasts by RFK Jr, he totally talks about these same exact issues. The mainstream media just smears RFK Jr and doesn't let him speak these ideas, because he isn't down for the establishment like Galloway. Galloway and RFK Jr see things the same way, and RFK Jr is also really wanting to slow the spending in govt and stop us going into major unsustainable debt like drunken sailors too.
      This is important, because our inflation right now is just a "hidden tax" from govt printing largely, combined with corps not slowing down their greediness they have had for decades one bit when the consumer is drowning in govt inflation at the same time.

      This is a fine example of how the generations who've grown up with social media quickly --judge-- without critical thinking or further quering. I have spent over 33 years aiding the poorest people on earth, less than $2/day in income, in Pacific Asia, Africa, Central Am. and Southeast Asia leading development projects.. And, as a Black American, I take pride being a unicorn breaking into the US food industry, lifting Black farmers into once prohibitive markets beyond the bigotry of centuries old systems. What might have you done to uplift the lives of the marginalized? You should not so quickly denounce those who are older who are allies to the cause; you're going to need all the help you can get.

    As far as building character for success I think the most important things I've found are:
    1. Creating value for the people I meet (There is always a way to create value)
    2. Then I tend to that relationship like a garden where the relationship starts as a seed but eventually blossoms when I need help later
    3. The fuel to help that garden grow is by creating positive emotion like Scott said, so that every time someone thinks of you they remember how you made them feel (I avoid negative emotion at all costs)
    It's not about what you know, but much more about who you know nowadays. I literally have job hopped to larger and more successful companies just by networking. That networking is only possible by building and tending to relationships. Also just throwing as much money as I can into the S&P 500

      @@NateDohDoubleGee that's a great question and I had the same one when my mentor first taught me this haha. Basically look at it like this: Every single person whether they're young, old, rich, poor, black, white, (you name it) has day to day issues they're struggling with. To put it simply, everyone has problems. Where you come in is you can offer to help those problems even if it's doing something really small. For example, a friend of mine I met at my last job was laid off. I, by chance, had also been looking for a new job and had a list of resources I already compiled for myself. I asked her if she had any interest in seeing my list and sure enough she did. Costs me nothing and I know I get to make her day better. Maybe even one day when I'm in need she will return the favor.

      @@user-ql4ud9zr7mI agree. His statement about not paying enough taxes is just stupid. Nothing prevents him from writing a larger check to the government anytime he wants. Also, his statement about young women are “killing it” because they are all going to college and getting the best jobs. Fast forward 20 years and we are going to have an epidemic of unhappy crazy cat ladies upset at the world because they were sold the bill of goods than feminism would solve all their problems. Young men really do have it the worst. Society has basically shit on them for the past 20 years or so and told them they were unnecessary. Here’s my advice to you young men- instead of spending your 20s doing drugs or alcohol or being depressed, go work on yourself- get a job, learn a trade/ new skills, get in the gym regularly. Live beneath your means. When you start earning more money start a Roth IRA and contribute every month (time is your friend here). The key is to work on becoming the best possible version of yourself. Surround yourself with other goal-oriented individuals. Remember- Comparing yourself to others is worthless as we are all on a different journey. If you do this you will be surprised at how many positive changes happen in your life. There is no short-cut to success. One must do the hard work to get it. Stop whining about how life isn’t fair (it isn’t), embrace the suck and get on with creating a life you will love and be proud of.

    I came from poverty, being raised by a single dad. I became religious at 15 and church culture helped me learn to not gossip and be generous, etc. The strict rules around being loving and caring and at least outwardly pleasant has served me well. I've since left religion behind but I have benefited so much in my life by being encouraging and kind and helpful to others. Some of that is personality - it is natural to be kind and not speak badly about others. I think this, more than my intelligence or work ethic, has contributed to opportunities I've had more than anything else. Being the kind of person people feel safe with is an incredibly helpful asset because people are willing to share their ideas and resources to help you. People want to see a nice person win and some people will even help you along your way.

      He's right but it's definitely not new. He basically says, "Do what you're going to be the best and at pays well, then invest and save as much as you can." That's about it. But the reality is if everyone is trying to be better than 90% of others in the industry, most people won't be successful, especially people that aren't passionate about what they do. They'll just burn out and be miserable. Wealth is hard work, but it's also part luck. Not sure which is the major factor though.

    I think Scott misses the point about "Billionaires shouldn't exist"'. Its not that they are terrible people and don't deserve their wealth, the problem is that concentrating that much power in one individual, no matter their personal qualities is disastrous for society and undermines democracy. Many of the problems Scott is concerned about have their origins in us having a system that concentrates power in so few hands.

    "You need to find something you're passionate about that you can be in the top 10 percent of that has a 90 percent employment rate".
    That's one way to phrase it. Another way is that 90 percent of people who try that will fail to achieve that goal. It shouldn't be that hard for the average Joe to make it. The system is broken. My goal is no longer to spend that much effort marketing myself to prospective employers but rather to focus my efforts on arbitrage opportunities and exploiting market inefficiencies and using that to build my wealth. It provides nothing of actual value to the real world but has a much better ROI than those that do something valuable and essential. Better to be a worthless middleman leech in the current system taking a cut out everything you can than to be the guy making himself valuable to other businesses trading his time for money that gets rugged by being made redundant.

      You really NEED to leave the popular areas to live. My hometown was Denver, CO, but it became insane starting around 10yrs ago as people kept moving in droves like they are now in TN. When we sold our teeny 832sqft single family starter home we bought in 2008 in 2017, there were a bunch of offers on the table hours after the house went on the market. We weren't able to stay in Denver because we had the same bid war issues, and it was just too pricey for comfort even with the equity we gained on our first house. All we had to do was move 2hrs away from Denver to an area in Colorao that is a bit less populated that isn't considered "trendy", and we didn't have the bidding war issues, and the cost of housing is quite literally 1/3 of Denver's!! We have the same wages we made in Denver as the wages are state wide for many companies, but our house is much larger, much cheaper, and we pay so much less living here. There are lots of decent little towns all over the USA that are WAY more affordable simply because they aren't "trendy". BTW where I live now is actually nicer than Denver, esp what Denver has become...lol...the irony of it all! Go off the beaten path to find a home!

What happens is every industry gets a monopoly, which then suppresses competition and abuses the populace. It's only "more government" that prevents this from happening by breaking up companies when they get too large. Also OSHA for safety regulations so you don't die in an avoidable industrial accident, modern building codes so you don't burn alive, unemployment and retirement benefits so you don't literally starve to death in old age, environmental regulations so your water is safe to drink and food regulation so your food is safe to eat.
      You would hate the world you describe, and the only reason you yearn for it is because you haven't experienced it and probably avoid studying economic history because it's "boring". Read up on Company Towns in 1800s West Virginia, that's what you're advocating for, and the coal miners literally went to war over it at the Battle of Blair Mountain.

    The best part of Scott's message is his emphasis on ending the weaponization of law at local, state, and federal levels against younger people and newer businesses. This means retracting government reach rather than adding programs to supposedly encourage.
    Unfortunately, for one thing, the young are up against sixty years of treating houses as investments rather than expensive consumer goods. The country has three generations for whom the house is the primary investment. Compound interest is a lovely thing -- unless you are on the other side of it.

    Scott is definitely right about us having the hard part figured out. The US is exceptionally wealthy and many countries around the world struggle incredibly hard to reach the same level of development. Yet, we are stabbing ourselves in the foot through simply bad policy choices where we already know what would fix the problems. From wealth inequality to healthcare to the housing crisis we already have known solutions to these issues. The problem is that we have a broken political system that is simply not implementing them.

      We have an economic system that allows the rich to get richer. We have an economic system that prioritizes rich companies getting richer. That makes technological progress easy. The hard part is making sure the success that comes from that is distributed properly.

    Being nice and speaking positively, functionally, inevitably means not externalizing a problem which might require cooperation to prevent or correct. You're effectively saying "shut up about your problems. You attract more bees with honey" which isn't false but it's not righteous and is largely the cause of our problems in the system YOU can't manage to figure out. Sure it's right for YOU individually but collectively or even in your local municipality acting in your own interests cause inner alignment errors in policy and communication.
    A great deal of statements interpreted as criticism, are listeners projecting their involvement with something as negative or as blame. Just because you're part of the solution proposed, or were complicit in the problem described, doesn't mean the provoking party has any negative sentiment towards you. Never the less, people will consistently and constantly take it that way. It's just a matter of fact, as Scott even points out in the video, people get defensive.
    Before anyone comments, "you can communicate problems while being positive with tact"
    You'll need to actually try fixing these cooperative or institutional problems yourself not just delegating or commanding other people to. Coercion isn't consensus. Confidence isn't competence. Bribery isn't personality.

    What Scott said about helping youth (paraphrasing) to become economically successful and how we’re not doing that is not only true it’s an epidemic. I’m on the oldest end of Millennials. I have kids in private school not because I’m rich, but because I’m doing my utmost to invest in their future because as parents we want our kids to be both better than us, and more financially sound than us. If we’re not doing that then you’re looking at the “Four Evils Campaign” where (in this case) wealth is eradicated for the youth, and it goes on to cause severe strain for the rest of the population.

    I hope this reaches someone that's smarter than I am that can look into this, but you can see this exact extreme where I used to live. In Tyler TX its is almost a retiree city, where all the wealth is sequestered by 50-80 year olds who have old money, a time when inflation was Lower, and have moved to from places like California to TX because of low taxes. So the out of state elderly raise taxes for young people born in the state to a raised cost of living (Let alone buying a house or renting a apartment just to feel some sense of freedom). Since young people have no money they have to get loans, going into dept, then after they have a degree there are no high paying opportunities in Low tax Tyler. Making them have to go high tax states to find jobs that will technically be paying, the young person with the degree, less.
    I not that smart, so there might a huge mistake with everything i just said so please let me know but, this is just how I feel from living it. I feel hopeless that "HardWork" even matters, in my experience its always been, "Oh, you know Joe?! When can you start?"
