Disinherited by Diana Furchtgott-Roth

How Washington Is Betraying America's Young

The book argues that current U.S. policies and entitlement programs systematically favor older generations while saddling young Americans with mounting debt, higher taxes, limited job opportunities, and rising education and healthcare costs. Using budget analysis and policy examples, the author contends that unfunded liabilities, generous retirement and healthcare promises, and regulatory barriers threaten economic mobility and long-term prosperity. The work calls for reforming entitlement programs, reducing government debt, improving education choices and labor-market flexibility, and reorienting fiscal priorities to restore intergenerational fairness and sustainable growth.
