In 2006, an amazon.com customer looked for a book called Eating Their Young: The Birth and Rape of the Baby Boom. That book was based primarily on the future of Social Security, and was necessarily more limited in scope. This all new Eating Their Young, by a co-author of the original, deals with all the factors contributing to current Baby Boomer distress.
Not much has changed since the title was tossed around on Ted Koppel’s show...except for the worse. Here’s what, where, why, when and how their parents ate the Baby Boomers’ lunch!
Eating Their Young: How the Greatest Generation Made The Baby Boom into a Moveable Feast
This informative volume goes beyond the Social Security system, and addresses the inequities the WWII generation built into American life, and how these inequities affect the Baby Boom--their children--and their children's children and beyond.
If you're a Boomer, this book will make you angry, possibly angry enough to finally get your fair share and to redirect the bashing where it belongs.
If you're the parent of a Boomer, this book will make you angry. Deal with it.
If you are Gen X, Y or Jones, this book will help you understand who deserves your anger...so you can move on.
