The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway
Jun 22, 2026
Scott Galloway argues that the US should replace Social Security with mandatory, long-term equity-based savings accounts for all children. By forcing participation in the markets rather than reliance on public transfers, he believes we can solve the structural insolvency of the current system while building real generational wealth.
Key insight: Galloway suggests giving every newborn a $7,000 seed deposit that cannot be touched until age 65, arguing this would eventually allow the US to phase out Social Security while eliminating the massive federal budget strain of entitlement transfers.
