Author on American Old-igarchy: “How the Old Are Hoarding Power and Wealth”

Season 2026 Episode 8216 | 17m 49s

More than one-third of sitting U.S. senators are over 70, and a recent CNN poll shows that 58% of Americans believe this "poses major problems." Yale Professor Samuel Moyn calls the elderly cohort the "old-igarchy." He joins Hari Sreenivasan to argue that older generations hold disproportionate power in America.
