In this BigDeal rerun, Scott Galloway breaks down how the American Dream's playbook — degree, home, wealth — is broken. Housing costs have tripled relative to income. Two-thirds of young men aren't going to college. One in three men under 30 doesn't have a girlfriend. And the wealthiest generation in history is systematically extracting wealth from the youngest through tax policy, artificial scarcity, and a rigged economic structure most people never see.

Scott Galloway has built and lost hundreds of millions. He's an NYU Stern professor, serial entrepreneur, and one of the most honest voices on what's actually happening in the economy and the future of young people. In this conversation, he breaks down the transfer of wealth from young to old, why loneliness and extremism are the biggest threats to society, and the formula for economic security that actually works.

You'll learn why Social Security is the largest wealth transfer in history, how the tax code ballooned from 400 to 4,000 pages, why housing went from four years of salary to twelve, how elite institutions use rejection as a business model, why we're producing too few economically viable men, Scott's SCAF framework for fighting depression, and the four-part formula for financial security — plus why low-cost index funds beat 99% of hedge funds. If you're young, ambitious, or trying to win in a system that feels rigged, this episode will change how you see the game.
