No Mercy / No Malice: War on the Young
Summary
Scott Galloway argues that America is waging a "war on the young" by breaking the social contract through economic inequality and political neglect. He contends that older generations have protected their wealth via asset inflation and tax policies while young people face stagnant wages, unaffordable housing, and student debt. Galloway also criticizes Congress for failing to regulate social media’s harmful impact on youth mental health and warns that this systemic failure threatens the nation’s future stability.
