Have the Boomers Pinched Their Children’s Futures? - with Lord David Willetts
The Royal Institution
Lord David Willetts argues at the Royal Institution that the post-war baby boomers gained wealth and security at the expense of younger generations. He draws on his book The Pinch, covering housing, wealth and social policy in the UK.
HN commenters point to it as a clear exposition of intergenerational unfairness in housing and wages, especially from a UK angle.
