What If Millennials and Gen Z Leaders Replaced the Gerontocracy?

The last two U.S. presidents have both faced questions of senility and cognitive decline while in office. The Wall Street Journal recently published an article on wealth distribution titled “Over 65? Congratulations, you own the economy.” Meanwhile, Millennials and members of Generation Z are finding it next to impossible to afford things older generations took for granted, like buying a home and having a family. Amanda Litman, the president and founder of Run for Something, says it’s become clear the older generation won’t pass down their power willingly, so younger adults are going to have to take it. Litman’s organization has recruited more than 200,000 people to run for state or local office since 2017. Litman joins co-hosts Archon Fung and Stephen Richer to talk about why she believes democracy needs a generational makeover. They’ll also discuss her recent book, “When We’re in Charge: The Next Generation’s Guide for Leadership.”
