Scott argues what the U.S. is doing to the economic future of its youth is nothing less than a war on the young. The massive transfer of wealth from young to old is a topic he explores in his new book The Algebra of Wealth.
I was delighted to have Prof G back on the show to share what’s been on his mind lately, and enjoyed veering far off topic to discuss love, money, and the nature of true friendship.
This is... A Bit of Optimism..

A pair of smart men losing their ego and debating about things that actually matter in this world. Outstanding content.
-
This is what an intellectually respectful debate looks like
-
Wow! You guys really bounce off each other and aren’t afraid to call BS on each other’s claims. Please make Scott a repeat guest.
-
They joked about starting a podcast together, but I’d totally watch that.
-
I'm a fan of both of these guys, and even more so after this. I think the podcast space has shifted to being far too agreeable and to have these two giants in their respective fields, agreeing, disagreeing and debating so openly is super refreshing!
-
Finally heard something new from Professor G
-
2 years out of College my generation got hit with Great Recession ‘08. Took me 10 years working 2 or 3 jobs/gigs to save enough to buy a home then I lost job ‘20 COVID and even though I found employment within a year, with a fam4 🏡 all my savings wiped gone. I know I’m not the only one in my 40s having to rebuild that wealth right along side Gen-Z.
-
This podcast made me laugh so hard with you guys. These two points of view are speaking the exact same language and is EXACTLY the conversation that we need in every billionaires board room and presidential election but not with empty words but with the wholehearted spirit you both just brought. I love you both and you two need to get like minded folks to make these same points with a couple other voices and see where it goes. Encore!

Scott needs more of Simon’s smile. Simon needs more of Scott’s sarcasm. Maybe they’ll forge a union of thought that takes immediate action to produce that kinder gentler generation of compassionate capitalists and sincere philanthropists. Meanwhile, we small town middle class moderate thinking peace lovers are just trying to pay the rent. Thanks guys. Y’all are genius thinkers. Hope your ideas work! ✨
-
This is the best podcast/interview I've heard all year. Rigorous, funny, psychoanalytic, and cathartic at the same time.
-
Really refreshing to see the respectful robust exchange between two people on a podcast!
-
After a very long time, I am watching a podcast where 2 people have a very serious conversation and are not just talking nice about each other and themselves just to promote their own content. 👏
-
Love this conversation! Scott is a great counter balance to the Noise of the world in these difficult days. Please have him back again, I so look forward to seeing him again on your channel.
-
Best thing I saw online in a while. Good thinking here. My problem that Scott doesn´t touch is, what happens to taxes once it make to politicians hands.
-
This was by FAR, one rhe BEST thought provoking PODCAST I've listened to! AAHH-MAZING ❤❤❤
-
Thank you! I enjoyed it so much, hope to see Prof G here again.
-
Simon, Scott is so thoughtful. Thank you for having him! May your reach continue to expand.
-
This is the ULTIMATE match up, was waiting for this. Scott the ultimate gangster and Simon the preacher! IYKNYK-BOOM!!
-
This was an excellent exchange. Scott’s comment that there’s being correct and there’s being effective really nailed the issue. We need to focus more energy on identifying and implementing strategies that are effective.
-
This was a wild ride. Wow, I love these two together. MORE!
