About this listen

Wealth and health are closely linked across our lifespans. In this episode, Dawn Carpenter of the Milken Institute explores how economic status influences health outcomes—and how our health, in turn, can fortify or erode financial stability. From housing to stress, childhood development to systemic racism, Carpenter unpacks the hidden drivers of inequality and their intergenerational consequences. We’ll also discuss promising solutions—like early childhood investments, tax credits,, and integrated programs—that can help break the cycle of disparity and foster financial and physical well-being across generations.
