Why America Can’t Solve Homelessness — with Anand Giridharadas

Anand Giridharadas joins Scott Galloway to discuss the structural causes of homelessness in America, using Jordan Neely’s death as a case study. They explore why cities fail to address mental health crises, the ethical dilemmas of involuntary treatment, and how community can help rebuild lives. The conversation also examines public reactions to vigilante figures like Daniel Penny and Luigi Mangione as indicative of a broader sense of abandonment and the erosion of trust in institutions.
