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

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

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.
