In this episode of the Millennial Majority Podcast, with Charles Hugh Smith, author of The Mythology of Progress: Antiprogress and a Mythology for the 21st Century. We explore how housing affordability, demographics, financialization, and global capital have transformed what should be a source of stability and community into a symbol of anti-progress.

We cover:

• Why housing costs have become unaffordable for younger generations
• How demographics and the baby boomer generation shape the market
• The impact of globalization, Airbnb, and financialization on shelter
• Why anti-progress, not progress, is at the root of the housing crisis
• What Millennials and Gen Z can do to reclaim housing as shelter, not just an investment commodity

Whether you’re a homeowner, renter, or future buyer, this deep-dive will help you rethink the values behind housing and what true progress should look like.
