A Yale professor says America is now an ‘oldigarchy’—and Boomers on LinkedIn are enraged

Yale professor Samuel Moyn's provocative claim that America is now an 'oldigarchy'—dominated by older, wealthy individuals—has sparked a heated debate, especially among Baby Boomers on LinkedIn. In his book "Gerontocracy in America," Moyn argues that the concentration of wealth among older generations is reshaping societal power dynamics. This assertion has not only stirred controversy but also highlights broader issues regarding generational equity and economic disparity. The backlash from Boomers underscores the sensitivity around age-based wealth distribution, revealing deeper societal tensions.
