Description
The baby boomers saw themselves as pioneers of a new world
freer, fresher, fairer and infinitely more fun. But they were wrong. The world they made for their children to live in is a far harsher one than the world they inherited. The first of those born in the baby boom following the Second World War started came of age in the radical sixties. Not since 1918 had the young talked serious revolutionary politics as they did in the sixties.While the philosophy of the sixties seemed progressive at the time, the baby boomers we remember are not the political reformers, but the millionaires. In WHAT DID THE BABY BOOMERS EVER DO FOR US' Francis Beckett argues that the children of the 60s betrayed the gernations that came before and after, and that the true legacy of the swinging decade is ashes.
