Summary:
How
America
was hijacked by a
generation
whose reckless self-indulgence degraded the foundations of American prosperity. Acting without empathy, prudence, or respect for facts - acting, in other words, as
sociopaths
- they turned American dynamism into stagnation, inequality, and bipartisan fiasco. In the 2030s damage to Social Security, public finances, and the environment will become catastrophic and possibly irreversible. Gibney argues that younger generations have a fleeting window to hold the
boomers
accountable and begin restoring
America
. Bruce Gibney is a venture capitalist and writer.
