About this episode
The economy is soaring. Stocks are at all time highs. Inflation has been tamed. Yet young people are angry and anxious. This episode isn’t about “OK Boomer” inter-generational warfare — it’s about trying to understand the angst driven by economic inequality, the blowback from the “attention economy” and social media-induced loneliness. [Episode 36]
