A stunning speech from Scott Galloway on TED, tackling the issues of western (US) society.
However, the talk is about US, the issues are not just limited to the US, and can easily be found back in the modern western world. As such, this talk might be inspiring.
In a scorching talk, marketing professor and podcaster Scott Galloway dissects the data showing that, by many measures, young people in the US are worse off financially than ever before.
He unpacks the root causes and effects of this “great intergenerational theft,” asking why we let it continue and showing how we could make it end.

Higher ed is about taking unremarkable kids and giving them a shot at being remarkable.
How can I increase my compensation while reducing my accountability? – LVMH Strategy
it’s never been easier to be a billionaire, it’s never been harder to be a millionaire.
Because in 2008 we bailed out the banks, but we didn’t bail out the economy.
My advice to every young person watching this program is
go out, drink more and
make a series of bad decisions
that might pay off.
When did we decide that the money that capital earns is more noble than the money that sweat earns?
We can do all of it.
We have the resources.
The question is, do we have the will?
… if you acknowledge that our kids are the most important thing in our lives, that everything else we do here is meaningful, but our kids’ well-being and prosperity is profound.
If you acknowledge that they’re doing more poorly than previous generations.
If you believe there’s a chance that the illusion of complexity has done nothing but provide cloud cover for the unbelievable transfer of good will, of well-being and of prosperity from young to old.
And if you believe we can actually fix these problems and we have the resources, then I present to you, I posit, I augur the question that I hope has more veracity than it did 17 minutes and 24 seconds ago.
And that’s the following question.
Do we love our children?
