Gerontocracy in Amer

Gerontocracy in Amer

by Samuel Moyn

Farrar, Straus and Giroux · 2026 · 288 pages

This incisive work by Samuel Moyn argues that the United States faces a profound crisis of age, where power and wealth are increasingly concentrated in the hands of the elderly. From Capitol Hill to corporate boardrooms, older generations are shaping policies and economies in ways that stifle opportunities for the young. Moyn not only dissects this entrenched gerontocracy but also proposes bold, yet practical, solutions for generational equity, urging a reimagining of leadership and economic structures.
