Why Old Money Supports the Left

  • Summary

  • On a first glance it does not make sense why old money supports the left. In this video, we explore a counterintuitive but increasingly visible phenomenon: why "old money" elites—those with generational wealth and established influence—tend to support progressive or left-leaning causes. Diving deep into history, psychology, and economic strategy, we analyze how this alignment reflects a desire to maintain social capital, secure long-term stability, and avoid disruptive populist movements. We'll also examine the cultural shifts that have influenced this trend, including philanthropy, status signaling, and the strategic preservation of wealth. By the end, you'll have a clearer understanding of how class, influence, and ideology intersect in the political sphere.
