Rationally Speaking returns from hiatus with a look at a clash between two generations: Millennials, and their parents' generation, the Baby Boomers.
Faced with stagnant wages and rising costs of education, rent, and health care, Millennials have a tougher path to economic security than Boomers did. And a growing number of millennial writers argue that their situation is the result of misguided and irresponsible policy choices made by the Boomers themselves.
Are they right? Are Boomers to blame for Millennials' current economic struggles? To answer this question, Julia gets three different perspectives:
Jill Filipovic, author of OK Boomer, Let's Talk: How My Generation Got Left Behind,
Joseph C. Sternberg, author of The Theft of a Decade: How the Baby Boomers Stole Millennials' Economic Future, and
Patrick Fisher, author of Demographic Gaps in American Political Behavior.
