YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A new brand of leftist thinking is on the rise. Gen-Z socialism is less about the collective and more about a me-first doctrine. And it’s not just the young that support it.

The Economist’s political data journalist, Owen Winter, and acting economics editor, Archie Hall, dig into what’s driving Gen-Z socialism.
