What happens when the future is something you have to build, but others get to inherit? This week, host Amanda Montell (@amanda_montell) is joined by journalists Wailin Wong and Stacey Vanek Smith (@svaneksmith) to overthink the emotional, historical, and spiritual weight of generational wealth: what it gives, what it withholds, and who it was never designed for. Listen as they explore the systems that have kept generational wealth out of reach for so many marginalized communities, the guilt of those who inherit it and do care, and the quiet alienation of watching others take it for granted.
A layered spiral into privilege, precarity, and what it means to want stability in a world that’s never been fair.
Further Listening: The Indicator from Planet Money
Further Reading: Machiavelli For Women by Stacey Vanek Smith
