Overthinking with Philip Klein


Listen Later

Millennials are frequently mocked and demeaned, what with their brunches and their avocado toast and their growing up in relative peace and prosperity. But Washington Examiner executive editor Philip Klein thinks the deck is stacked against them by decisions made largely by the Baby Boomers who have racked up enormous amounts of public debt and enacted policies that have made housing, education, health care and more increasingly expensive. In reaction to that reality, many are increasingly turning to socialism as the answer. How bad do Millennials have it? What, if anything, can be done about it? Why is socialism so attractive to younger generations? And how would embracing socialism make all these problems worse. Philip Klein joins Eric and Joe to discuss his new book, "Fear Your Future: How the Deck Is Stacked against Millennials and Why Socialism Would Make It Worse."
