The biggest economic transformation in modern history may already be underway.

Artificial Intelligence is changing the workforce, Elon Musk could become the world's first trillionaire, and debates over capitalism, socialism, income inequality, and economic opportunity are dominating politics. But are we witnessing the beginning of a new Golden Age of prosperity — or another Gilded Age where wealth concentrates at the top?

In this episode of New Frontiers, former Phoenix Mayor Paul Johnson sits down with political columnist Bob Robb to discuss:

- Will AI create more jobs than it destroys?

- Is America becoming more unequal — or are the numbers misleading?

- Why Elon Musk could reshape the global economy.

- The rise of Democratic Socialism after Zohran Mamdani's victory.

- Why capitalism continues to create opportunity.

- Can AI improve productivity without replacing workers?

- Should America focus on inequality or upward mobility?

- The biggest threat facing America's economic future.

- Why government debt may be a larger problem than AI itself.

- What ordinary Americans can do to prepare for the next economic revolution.

Rather than asking whether America is succeeding or failing, this conversation explores the bigger question:

Will we shape the future – or simply react to it?
