Summary:In this interview, we discuss Moyn's argument about how we live in a gerontocracy, meaning a society ruled by the old. Moyn argues that the old hold a disproportionate amount of the wealth and power, and that they generally act in their self-interest at the expense of younger people. We also discuss his proposals for fixing this problem.
