The Death of the American Dream
About this episode
The episode discusses the transformation of the US economy into a gambling-centric system and the implications for young Americans.
SpaceX just IPO'd, surged, and torched billions of small investors. It's the new American economy. From prediction markets to crypto to day-trading teens, we look at how the US quietly turned itself into the world's biggest casino, and why young Americans are gambling because they've given up on working.
