Perhaps the most ironic analysis comes in his views on four-year universities, considering he is a professor at one, albeit at the graduate level, serving as a professor of Marketing at the Stern School of Business at New York University. China spends 10x more of it’s GDP on core infrastructure than the United States which is why it shouldn’t be surprising you can get from Bejing to Shanghai in 4. In Adrift, Galloway looks to the past - from 1945 to present day - to explain just how America arrived at this precipice. I would say we are adrift or a bit unmourn, unmoored, if we will, but I do not think that we are lost.

The solution: remove some institutional barriers to competition while restoring some institutional protections for the middle class. An urgent examination of America's future through a review of its past from 1945 to today for readers seeking to understand the reasons for its political, social and economic crisis from New York Times bestselling author Scott Galloway. Im not sure what was more of a waste - the time it took to read this book or the time the author spent writing it. What I think you can do though is say, all right, if you have misinformation on election or vaccine in misinformation, yes, the dissenter voice is important. But herein lies the dilemma: we also rely on news media to help us navigate the false claims and fake news that spread like wildfire around the world on the speedy pathways of the internet.S. is that essentially, I would argue, that we are just optimize for the top 1 percent, for the first time, we have a regressive tax structure.

As I've gotten older, experienced fatherhood, and looked back on how fortunate I was to be born when I was born, to be born who I was, and some of my struggles as a young man, I've spent a lot more time thinking about young men who I think are struggling in our society, and I want to have a positive influence there. I'm tracking toward it with my kids that they need to get to MIT or an Ivy League School, and then up at Google or KKR, and anything diverging from that is a disappointment. Maybe it's because I'm a control freak, but I hate going into a book expecting one thing and getting another; it makes me feel a loss of control. It can create meaningful connections between people who would never have met in the physical world alone.

Galloway is a four or five-time entrepreneur (depending on how you count it) who has been teaching economics at NYU Stern for 21 years.
