Welcome to a provocative two-part special on "Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu" featuring Hasan Piker, the fearless streamer, progressive commentator, and cultural critic known for his passionate takes on economics, politics, and the future of America. In Part 1 of this episode, Tom and Hasan pull no punches as they dive into the resurgent interest in socialism among young people, the perceived failures of capitalism, and the real roots of economic disenfranchisement.

Hasan lays out the generational pressures facing the youth today: from unaffordable housing and wage stagnation to mounting inequality and corporate monopoly power. The conversation unpacks the intrinsic mechanics of both capitalism and socialism, exploring themes of wage labor, class tension, and corporate consolidation. Tom and Hasan dig into the impacts of banking, the Federal Reserve, and money printing—questioning whether the real culprit is capitalism, unchecked banking, or something deeper in the way we organize our economy. Together, they debate innovation, government intervention, and what really drives prosperity—and who’s left behind.
