A Generation of Sociopaths is Available Now

What happens  when society is run by sociopaths?  
That’s the question A Generation of Sociopaths answers, analyzing the experiences, behaviors and politics of the Baby Boomers - for decades, the largest and most influential generation in America.  The Boomers’ grip on power, which has lasted more than thirty years and will last for at least another half decade, not only coincided with - but caused - a series of profound disappointments: slowing economic growth, decelerating innovation, tremendous fiscal imbalances, serial financial and political scandals, environmental degradation, a toxic legacy of debt, and a surprising lack of progress on a range of social issues from income inequality to social justice.  Boomer power over society, as the largest voting bloc for decades and as a majority of the nation’s legislators since the 1990s, has been near-total, and ruthlessly devoted to the promotion of the Boomers’ short-sighted self-interest. 

The book dispels conventional notions of the Boomers as a progressive generation and reveals them for what they truly are: a generation relentlessly devoted to their own enrichment at the cost of their country and children.  From the tangled history of Vietnam to bipartisan policy failures from 1980s to the present, from unprecedented imprisonment to improvident tax cuts (passed by Republicans and Democrats alike), the book looks beyond conventional political explanations of Red vs. Blue, to the real dynamic of Old vs. Young, and tells the story of  a powerful generation  grabbing  national wealth while  leaving subsequent generations with the bill.
