Donald Trump in the Crisis of Young Men

Harry sits down for the first time with Scott Galloway whose wide-ranging influential views encompass politics, psychology, marketing, and technology, to name just a few. They first discuss Galloway's thesis of the current crisis among young men.  Galloway lays out the manifold causes and cross-cutting effects, including eye-popping rates of substance abuse suicide and depression.  They then turn to the link between young men's hardships and disenchantment and the rise of Trump as a dark model of masculinity. That leads Galloway to a harsh critique of the Democratic party’s marketing and agenda, and a specific postmortem of the 2024 election. From there, Galloway prescribes a series of proposals that he thinks Democrats should be offering in order to appeal to younger middle-class voters. And those are only the touchstones of a fast moving, provocative discussion chock full of Holloway’s thoughts on sundry topics such as social media, the importance of peer groups, the tax code, and why young people should drink more.
