In his ‘remarkable’ (Men’s Journal) and ‘controversial’ (Fortune) book — written inside a ‘wry, amusing style’ (The Guardian) — Bruce Cannon Gibney shows how America was hijacked with the Boomers, a generation whose reckless self-indulgence degraded the foundations of American prosperity. WITHIN A Generation of Sociopaths, Gibney examines the devastating policies of the most powerful generation in contemporary history, showing how the Boomers ruthlessly enriched themselves at the trouble of future decades.

Acting without empathy, prudence, or respect for facts–acting, in other words, as sociopaths–the Boomers converted American dynamism into stagnation, inequality, and bipartisan fiasco. The Boomers have set a period bomb for the 2030s, when damage to Sociable Security, public budget, and the environment can be catastrophic and perhaps irreversible–and when, not coincidentally, Boomers will be dying off.

Gibney argues that younger decades have a fleeting windowpane to hold the Boomers accountable and commence restoring America.
