The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway · How to Think About Careers, Global Risk, and Teaching Money — ft. Ed Elson & Kyla Scanlon · 12 Jan 2026 podcast

But if it does happen,

You know, it's a different world and you have to think about capital differently.

I mean, this is something I think a lot about.

You know, I wrote a book that was meant to be an introductory guide to economics, meant to make it fun, you know, illustrations and everything.

And so I think that it's been very tough to teach financial literacy.

The main thing that I hear from econ teachers is that it's just, it's pretty abstract for students.

Like it's hard to conceptualize money and

It's hard to conceptualize what making a budget means when you're that age.

And so I think when students get to college, that's when it gets pretty important because they have more of a concept of money.

It's not as abstract.

And I think what's really important about both personal finance and education

economics education is you kind of have to root it in what happens to the news.

So if you have like a CPI report talking about inflation, you can talk about how the market reacts, how that's going to impact somebody's portfolio, and then talk about how the CPI data is collected.

Like, you know, what is this role of this government institution in determining what inflation is and therefore the direction of your life?

And so I think you have to have it always rooted in some example because the language of economics is incredibly

Not always that accessible, but when you have a news headline, I think it becomes a little bit more accessible.

And I think that's the purpose of economics education is to kind of understand the world around you as it's happening.

So I think it's really important to anchor it in reality for students.

I mean, the tough part about fitting it into schools is the schools are already so packed with curriculum that econ classes or personal finance classes have to take a section of like a history course because there's just no room in the students' schedules.

And so I think that's when it becomes important to have like an adulting app.
