A Generation Of Sociopaths by Bruce Cannon Gibney
How the Baby Boomers Betrayed America
The book argues that the postwar baby-boom generation used its political and economic dominance to rewrite rules in ways that enriched themselves and shifted costs and risks onto younger cohorts; through deregulation, tax and housing policies, the growth of debt, and the privatization and hollowing out of public institutions, it claims boomers created incentives for short-term self-enrichment over civic responsibility, leaving later generations with higher housing and education costs, heavier debt burdens, weaker safety nets, and diminished prospects — and it urges policy changes to restore intergenerational fairness and rebuild shared institutions.
