The only way political power translates to economic power is through socialism (when considered not just to be control of the means of production, but control of everything, including living arrangements). And while certain things are socialistic in Western countries, it would be a dramatic upheaval to make everything socialistic.
In the US there's only about 107 million Millennials and GenZers of voting age. This compares to about 150 million of GenX and older. Some of those people undoubtedly can't vote due to citizenship constraints, but Millennials and GenZers certainly can't control political power, even if they unified. https://www.statista.com/statistics/797321/us-population-by-generation/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/797321/us-population-by-...
2022:
GenZ = 69.58 million, 1997-2012 births, so about half can vote.
Millennials = 72.24 million
GenX = 65.37 million
Baby Boomers = 68.59 million
Silent = 18.29 million
Greatest = 670 thousand
