Synopsis
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.

  • Author breaks down the fundamental facts about selfishness from a Generation that never planned for the future.

    Author lies out a factually based argument that Baby Boomers have hoarded wealth and social programs for themselves at the cost of the next generations. Clearly lays out how the Baby Boomers never planned for hard times like the Great Generation before them.

    In the author's words: "Bruce Cannon Gibney is a venture capitalist and writer. An early investor in PayPal, he later joined Founders Fund, where he and his colleagues funded Facebook, Spotify, Palantir Technologies, Elon Musk's SpaceX, Airbnb, Lyft, and other start-ups." You aren't doing so bad yourself to be talking about ALL Boomers being Greedy.

  • Must read

    Some parts are a bit slow, but the rest is amazingly clear. Facts are stubborn things, for Boomers. Read this if you want to see the consequences of their selfish choices on future generations.
