On the show today, generation gaps, what older and younger generations can learn from each other, and what seems to be tearing them apart. We were just talking to NYU professor Scott Galloway. Scott says younger generations can't afford to pay off their debt, buy a home, invest in retirement, and he blames older generations for withholding financial opportunities from them. The effects, he says, are more than just economic.
