This episode wraps up Prof G on Economics, a two-part Office Hours series on the forces shaping the economy and your financial life.


Ed Elson and Kyla Scanlon discuss how the American Dream is shifting for younger generations, why common economic signals can be misleading, and how to tell the difference between real economic health and financial strain — plus how they make sense of the noise in today’s media landscape.
