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.

the "Boomers"
So it's the "Boomers" fault. If the Guardian likes this book then it's likely one more in a long line of "blame the useful idiots snore fests". We're watching a very clever psi-op unfold before our eyes, as Marxism's evil child systematically separates us from our historical and cultural roots - good and bad. Its "the patriarchy", "its whiteness", "its the Boomers", it's Trump...oh no it's his QAnon crazed supporters. No...its the same Luciferian parasite corporate as always. They simply used "the Boomers" to design and build their own technocratic prison system (much like early convicts building Port Arthur in Tasmania) and now most of them are surplus to requirements. ie the Chinese can build it faster and cheaper while simultaneously maneuvering to become the Hacks or Kapos of the prison
