The biggest unanswered question left is what will become of democracy in such an environment, especially as the baby boom generation’s power fades. Bump describes an environment where hyper-partisanship, technology and distrust of institutions are combining to create an even more divisive environment. Financial expert, investment advisor andNew York Times bestselling author James Rickards shows why and how global financial markets are being artificially inflatedand what smart investors can do to protect their assets What goes up, must come down. Many of the consequences of the last days of the baby boom generation that Bump outlines are playing out in today’s headlines, including the increased strains on government services and employers as the generation ages.įittingly, the book ends with an exploration of how the fissures that have developed as the generations shift are shaping democracy. But there’s no shortage of charts and graphs throughout the book to help readers along the way. It would be easy to to get lost in the numbers as Bump takes a deep dive into as he looks at the cultural, political and demographic changes the country is going through. Ultimately, the author of Aftermath misses the point. Cities have been reduced to rubble and more than half of the population are where they do not belong or do not want to be. The book Aftermath focuses on the economic miracle that occurred only in West Germany and glosses over the fact that the economic and political recovery in East Germany was a disaster from start until its ultimate failure when the Soviet Union collapsed. With The Aftermath, Philip Bump marshals a sea of statistics to debunk myths about that big, self-involved and endlessly discussed postwar generation. Three best friends are at the venue to hear their favorite band. To show just how many areas he explores, Bump even manages time to take a look at the evolution of James Bond during the baby boomers’ rise.
