The book Intergenerational Theft is an analytical presentation of the challenges that are being experienced by the young people in today’s society in the UK and how the baby boomers generation has caused this injustice. The favouritism of the baby boomers generation by government policies is showcased in this scenario and the media and political platforms are blamed for selling the false belief that life has always been hard and that no one has had it easy.

As a result of extensive research, Daniel Anthony Harrison outlines and further explains the factors that have led to the cost of living crisis for the younger generations such as the cumulative intergenerational debt of £15 trillion on the UK, student loans and PFI schemes to name a few. It is a favourable read even for those without an economic or political background knowledge as Daniel Anthony Harrison makes it easy to understand by use of tables and figures.

I love this book as it provides for the consequences related to intergenerational theft and also proposes the solutions on how young people can deal with the Intergenerational Theft by calling them to action. This could result to changes that could lead to improvement of quality of life such as housing costs.

I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars as it is a good book and has evidence based points whereby Daniel uses charts, tables and graphs to demonstrate research findings. The editing is top notch and thus there are no errors, be it typos or grammatical errors.

I would like to recommend this book to anybody who is interested in learning about the influence of national policies and national debts on the future generations. It is also good to visit the recommended articles and books that are provided by the author as they also provide insights towards the “Intergenerational Theft.”
