In this episode of Freakonomics Radio, I join Stephen Dubner to explore the profound demographic shift underway in the United States—where, for the first time, there will soon be more people over 65 than under 18. We discuss how longevity is no longer just about living longer, but living better, with a growing focus on healthspan. I argue that America’s aging infrastructure—social, economic, and institutional—is still designed for a 20th-century lifespan. It’s time we update our policies, mindsets, and systems to reflect the reality of longer, healthier lives and embrace the opportunities of a longevity society.
