Book Synopsis 100 Predictions for the Baby Boom by : Cheryl Russell
Download or read book 100 Predictions for the Baby Boom written by Cheryl Russell and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without the baby boom, the United States would be a different place. The Vietnam War would have lasted longer. Rock and roll would be less pervasive. The civil rights movement would have changed laws and attitudes more slowly. But women might be further ahead in job status and pay if there had been no baby boorr.. Hous ing would be cheaper. The economy would have done better in the 1970s, and people now in their 20s, 30s, and 40s would be making more money. For the past 30 years, the baby boom generation all those born between 1946 and 1964-shook American economics, politics, and culture. But the full impact of 7 8 PREFACE the baby boom is yet to come because the generation is just now gaining the economic and political power to de termine events. Though the baby boom is a diverse generation linked only by its date of birth, that link is critical. The gener ation spans 19 years, which means many boomers ex perience the same things at the same time-going to col lege, getting a job, marrying, divorcing, buying a house, starting a family. Because of this, the baby boom in fluences what America's businesses produce, what the media write about, and what the politicans support. It focuses the nation's attention on itself; its concerns be come the nation's concerns. Whatever age the baby boom is becomes the nation's age.

Book Synopsis The Master Trend by : Cheryl Russell
Download or read book The Master Trend written by Cheryl Russell and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-10-07 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Baby Boom generation is leading the nation into the future. Having elected one of its own to the White House, this generation - the largest and best educated in history - is poised to place its imprint on the 21st century. Cheryl Russell - acclaimed author of 100 Predictions for the Baby Boom and former editor-in-chief of American Demographics - meets the challenge of predicting the daunting future of this most singular of generations. Russell perceptively shows why members of the Baby Boom generation, born between 1946 and 1964, have always embraced their independence. This individualism has become the master trend of our time. But the Baby Boom generation is now finding itself in the midst of a midlife crisis as it is pulled in one direction by its sense of individualism and in another by its children. Baby Boomers, known for following the beat of their own drummer, are suddenly awakening to the urgent need to bring society together for the sake of their children's future. The Baby Boom generation prizes individualism so highly that it has become the first generation of what Cheryl Russell calls "free agents." Like Curt Flood - baseball's first free agent - the Baby Boomers play by their own rules. Free agents have become both the creators and the eager customers of a new, fast-paced, hotly competitive "personalized economy" that seizes on cutting-edge technologies to produce the innovative and custom-designed products and services the world so sorely needs. Will this personalized economy bring prosperity to Americans? Can the free agents of the Baby Boom generation make life better for all of us? Will they learn to work together for the good of society? Most important, what kind of society are the Baby Boomers leaving to their children? In a culture that values individualism above all, what will happen to the unprepared millions who are trapped in the margins of society? In a world where the disparity between rich and poor has grown dramatically what kind of tensions will arise? The Baby Boom generation is now laying the foundation for the next century. The choices it makes today will reshape America either into a society of turmoil and danger or into a brave new world of cooperation and prosperity. In this landmark work, Cheryl Russell presents the blueprint by which the Baby Boom generation will leave its legacy for the future
Download or read book The Pinch written by David Willetts and published by Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The baby boom of 1945-65 produced the biggest, richest generation that Britain has ever known. Today, at the peak of their power and wealth, baby boomers now run the country; by virtue of their sheer demographic power, they have fashioned the world around them in a way that meets all of their housing, healthcare, and financial needs. In this original and provocative book, David Willetts shows how the baby boomer generation has attained this position at the expense of their children. Social, cultural, and economic provision has been made for the reigning section of society, whilst the needs of the next generation have taken a back seat. Willetts argues that if our political, economic, and cultural leaders do not begin to discharge their obligations to the future, the young people of today will be taxed more, work longer hours for less money, have lower social mobility, and live in a degraded environment in order to pay for their parents' quality of life. Baby boomers, worried about the kind of world they are passing on to their children, are beginning to take note. However, whilst the imbalance in the quality of life between the generations is becoming more obvious, what is less certain is whether the older generation will be willing to make the sacrifices necessary for a more equal distribution. The Pinch is a landmark account of intergenerational relations in Britain. It is essential reading for parents and policymakers alike.
Book Synopsis Boomernomics by : William Paul Sterling
Download or read book Boomernomics written by William Paul Sterling and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 1998 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this powerful, prescient book, economists and financial wizards William Sterling and Stephen Waite take an in-depth look at how America's baby boomers have transformed the nation's - and the world's - economy and how that transformation must inevitably - and radically - alter its course as the boomers age." "But the economic "big chill" won't freeze you if you're prepared for it. As Sterling and Waite show, there are strategies we can use, both as private individuals and collectively as a nation, to prosper during the "age wave." Privatizing social security, applying market principles to the health care system, rethinking the concept of retirement, tapping creatively into the potential gold mine on the Internet, using demographics to pinpoint growth industries: these are among the prescriptive suggestions that the authors, who successfully manage over $30 billion, show will work just as successfully for you."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Synopsis A Generation of Sociopaths by : Bruce Cannon Gibney
Download or read book A Generation of Sociopaths written by Bruce Cannon Gibney and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his "remarkable" (Men's Journal) and "controversial" (Fortune) book -- written in a "wry, amusing style" (The Guardian) -- Bruce Cannon Gibney shows how America was hijacked by the Boomers, a generation whose reckless self-indulgence degraded the foundations of American prosperity. In A Generation of Sociopaths, Gibney examines the disastrous policies of the most powerful generation in modern history, showing how the Boomers ruthlessly enriched themselves at the expense of future generations. Acting without empathy, prudence, or respect for facts--acting, in other words, as sociopaths--the Boomers turned American dynamism into stagnation, inequality, and bipartisan fiasco. The Boomers have set a time bomb for the 2030s, when damage to Social Security, public finances, and the environment will become catastrophic and possibly irreversible--and when, not coincidentally, Boomers will be dying off. Gibney argues that younger generations have a fleeting window to hold the Boomers accountable and begin restoring America.
Book Synopsis The Retirement Prospects of the Baby Boom Generation by : Daniel B. Radner
Download or read book The Retirement Prospects of the Baby Boom Generation written by Daniel B. Radner and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the financial prospects of the baby boomers in their elderly years. The paper primarily attempts to draw together and summarize results found by other researchers, but a few new estimates are presented. The consensus of the research appears to be the following. Up to this point, the baby boom generation as a whole has a higher economic status than their parents' generation did at the same ages, but this does not hold for some subgroups. When it becomes elderly, the baby boom generation as a whole probably will have a higher economic status than their parents' generation has and will have at those ages, but, again, this may not hold for some subgroups. It is uncertain whether the baby boom generation as a whole will have enough resources in retirement to maintain their preretirement standard of living without increasing their saving or retiring later, but some subgroups will be able to maintain their living standard without changing their behavior.
Book Synopsis Discoveries in the Economics of Aging by : David A. Wise
Download or read book Discoveries in the Economics of Aging written by David A. Wise and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-08-29 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The oldest members of the Baby-Boomer generation are now crossing the threshold of eligibility for Social Security and Medicare with extensive and significant implications for these programs’ overall spending and fiscal sustainability. Yet the aging of the Baby Boomers is just one part of the rapidly changing landscape of aging in the United States and around the world. The latest volume in the NBER’s Economics of Aging series, Discoveries in the Economics of Aging assembles incisive analyses of the most recent research in this expanding field of study. A substantive focus of the volume is the well-documented relationship between health and financial well-being, especially as people age. The contributors explore this issue from a variety of perspectives within the context of the changing demographic landscape. The first part of the volume explores recent trends in health measurement, including the use of alternative measurement indices. Later contributions explore, among other topics, alternate determinants of health, including retirement, marital status, and cohabitation with family, and the potential for innovations, interventions, and public policy to improve health and financial well-being.
Book Synopsis Baby Boom Migration and Its Impact on Rural America by : John Cromartie
Download or read book Baby Boom Migration and Its Impact on Rural America written by John Cromartie and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis of age-specific, net migration during the 1990s reveals extensive shifts in migration patterns as Americans move through different life-cycle stages. Identifies the types of non-metro counties that are likely to experience the greatest surge in baby boom migration during 2000-20 and projects the likely impact on the size and dist¿n. of retirement-age pop¿s. in dest¿n. counties. The analysis finds a significant increase in the propensity to migrate to non-metro counties as people reach their 50¿s and 60¿s and projects a shift in migration among boomers toward more isolated settings, esp. those with high natural and urban amenities and lower housing costs. The non-metro pop¿n. age 55-75 will likely increase by 30% between now and 2020. Ill.

Book Synopsis What Did The Baby Boomers Ever Do For Us? by : Francis Beckett
Download or read book What Did The Baby Boomers Ever Do For Us? written by Francis Beckett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2010, this book explores the legacy of the baby boomers: the generation who, born in the aftermath of the Second World War, came of age in the radical sixties where for the first time since the War, there was freedom, money, and safe sex. In this book, Francis Beckett argues that what began as the most radical-sounding generation for half a century turned into a random collection of youthful style gurus, sharp-toothed entrepreneurs and management consultants who believed revolution meant new ways of selling things; and Thatcherites, who thought freedom meant free markets, not free people. At last, it found its most complete expression in New Labour. The author argues that the children of the 1960s betrayed the generations that came before and after, and that the true legacy of the swinging decade is in ashes.

Download or read book The Theft of a Decade written by Joseph C. Sternberg and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Wall Street Journal columnist delivers a brilliant narrative of the mugging of the millennial generation-- how the Baby Boomers have stolen the millennials' future in order to ensure themselves a comfortable present The Theft of a Decade is a contrarian, revelatory analysis of how one generation pulled the rug out from under another, and the myriad consequences that has set in store for all of us. The millennial generation was the unfortunate victim of several generations of economic theories that made life harder for them than it was for their grandparents. Then came the crash of 2008, and the Boomer generation's reaction to it was brutal: politicians and policy makers made deliberate decisions that favored the interests of the Boomer generation over their heirs, the most egregious being over the use of monetary policy, fiscal policy and regulation. For the first time in recent history, policy makers gave up on investing for the future and instead mortgaged that future to pay for the ugly economic sins of the present. This book describes a new economic crisis, a sinister tectonic shift that is stealing a generation's future.
