The Gerontocracy Problem: Samuel Moyn
We discuss the overlooked and insidious complications from gerontocracy in American democracy.
Sam's civic action toolkit recommendations are:
1) Think of democracy as a political form for transient human beings
2) Evangelize one of these ideas: age quotas, tax code reform, or campaign finance reform
Samuel Moyn is the Kent Professor of Law and History at Yale University, the cohost of the Digging a Hole podcast, and the author of Gerontocracy in America: How the Old Are Hoarding Power and Wealth – and What to Do About It.
