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. (Note: This talk contains mature language.)

    I always challenge older people when they say "people don't want to work anymore." People dont want to waste their life working if they still can't even pay their bills.

    Don't think I've ever heard a TED crowd more uncomfortable, the clapping is skim and you can almost feel the tension. The absolute balls on this man to create a presentation like this and then give it to the very counterparty causing all the issues within it, truly incredible lmfao.
  • @JasonReagan84
    The irony is that every rich person in this audience will laugh and clap, then go home and make sure the status quo continues
  • Unfortunately, things will be almost impossible to change because the people in charge of fixing the system are the same ones that benefit from it being broken.

    When I was 21 I had a deadend job, high school drop out, but I worked 8 hours a day 5 days a week. My refrigerator was full, I had a 1 bedroom apartment in Seattle/First Hill for $500 a month, and all my bills were paid. This was 1998. The fact that a kid now days can graduate college, get a decent job, work 12 hours a day...and not be able to afford basic needs....disgusting.
  • I'm just tired of working SO HARD and getting nowhere. I'm moving backwards at this point. It's just so damn hard
  • @PerfectAmbiguity
    "Higher Ed is about taking unremarkable kids and giving them a shot at being remarkable." This literally made me cry. This is how it should be. Thank you for such a beautiful, succient talk about this subject of inequality.
  • @Animorphster
    I don't think people realize how bad this will get. Young people have nothing to live for and young men with nothing to live for are dangerous. Resolving these economic issues is a matter of national security.

    Scott displayed more genuine patriotism in this video than any politician has in the last 30 years.
  • The eldest members of my family will say things like “grab your bootstraps” or “the struggle builds character” while remaining in control of millions. Meanwhile, I have spent the last 2 months frantically searching for any kind of affordable housing in my city before I’m kicked out of my educational institution’s housing next week after graduating. When I say I felt like I never got a chance, this is why. Absolutely wild.
  • I was a hungry child in the u.s. and now I’m an occasionally hungry adult with three jobs. This life makes me not want to have children; for my own sake and theirs
  • @steveoh2395
    This validates every conversation i've had with older generations who bought a house for 50k and tell me " I just need to work harder" . Great Speaker.
  • @ZahraIsMyDog
    I love all the applause from people who will do nothing to fix things.
  • @clemente6624
    This like the first not fake TED talk in like at least 10 yrs
  • @kevinhill1575
    I remember talking to the president of USC (University of Southern California) at a high-ranking networking party in NYC. It was for EdTech start-ups. I didn't know who he was. He was sitting in corner, not caring about mingling with everyone else. He told me his generation had a lot of opportunity and stole it from younger generations. Then I found out who he was on Linkedin. It surprised me that top people thought. The smart ones know how screwed up things are. They just don't say it publicly.
  • @sethcolegrove7626
    If this doesn’t blow up,… I can’t believe someone’s finally compiled it in a concise presentation and actually SAID IT
  • @szilvia2002
    “When did we decide, that the money that capital earns is more noble than the money that sweat earns ??” That’s huge!
  • @ItsCappy
    I felt so unreasonably angry every time the audience laughed or clapped. Nothing in that speech made me smile or even consider celebrating. The older generations in power are so out of touch it feels like they’re mocking us.
  • I work in internet repair and deal with the elderly on a daily basis. They call young people entitled, but I've never met a more entitled person than an elderly person whose internet is out. They demand patience and special attention from the young, yet they do nothing but take from us and then tell us we need to work harder.
