What does addressing the masculinity crisis with a liberal approach look like? As men increasingly fall behind in the US educational system and economy, they search for meaning, often discovering it in unhelpful areas.
Scott Galloway, a professor at NYU’s Stern School of Business, offers insights into this issue. Despite being an unlikely figure for discussing masculinity—considering his background as a liberal academic, business founder, and family man—Galloway provides a hopeful perspective on the challenges young men face today.
Galloway attributes some of his achievements to a support system for young men deemed ‘unremarkable’. He discusses the social and economic challenges confronting these individuals and remains positive about future prospects.
The content presented here is a condensed version of an episode from the podcast ‘Interesting Times’. For the full discussion, listening to the original recording via the New York Times app or popular platforms like Apple, Spotify, and others is recommended.
Host Ross Douthat introduces Scott Galloway as a guest on ‘Interesting Times’, sparking a conversation that examines the current state of young American men beyond basic statistics.
