Is the American Dream DEAD? The Real Reason You Can’t Get Ahead

What this episode covers

For most of American history, if you didn’t like your circumstances, you could move somewhere new and reinvent yourself — but that freedom has been slowly stripped away. In this episode, historian and journalist Yoni Appelbaum uncovers how zoning laws, segregation, and discriminatory policies have made mobility a privilege of the wealthy, trapping generations in poverty. Cutting through a century of myth, he reveals how we got here — and how we can get moving again.Watch the episode on YouTubeGet your copy of Stuck: How the Privileged and the Propertied Broke the Engine of American Opportunity----Follow Andrew Yang: https://andrewyang.com | https://x.com/andrewyangFollow Yoni Appelbaum: https://x.com/YAppelbaum | https://www.theatlantic.com/author/yoni-appelbaum/----Get 50% off Factor at https://factormeals.com/yang50Get an extra 3 months free at https://expressvpn.com/yangGet 20% off + 2 free pillows at https://helixsleep.com/yang code helixpartner20----Subscribe to the Andrew Yang Podcast: Apple | Spotify
