His explanation makes perfect sense on that. Older people are gonna have more because they had more time invested in earning their money compared to a just a kid just out of college with alot of debt. |
That's not wrong but Peterson uses that as a main talking point for inequality as a whole, whereas the elephant in the room for inequality is the increasing gap between the rich and the poor.
Also I think Peterson's flaw with why young people are resentful is that he does not consider material conditions. This is anecdotal but where I live, rent and cost of living is very high so if you're young then a lot of your income simply goes to keeping you alive which makes you vulnerable to sudden economic shock. Why people get into these conditions may vary, some people put themselves into this situation because they were encouraged by their parents to live independent lives, while others may have to live in these conditions because they had to move for work.
