Review of Intergenerational Theft
[Following is a volunteer review of "Intergenerational Theft" by Daniel Harrison.]
Intergenerational Theft by Daniel Harrison is one book that talks about the economic inequalities between the older generations and the younger ones.
The book talks about the increasing problem of generational poverty in relation to money concerns that the younger generation faces since they are poorer than the preceding generations, as they can't afford things the older generations could afford easily. The subjects covered in the book include housing, pensions, debt, and other things that affect the quality of life of people born after 1970. Grab a copy to find out more about the financial intergenerational injustices covered in this book.
This book is one of a kind, honestly. It's been a while since I read something about finance that took away my attention from everything else. The book contains a great deal of materials, including charts, graphs, and tables used to explain things in detail. This shows that the book was well-researched.
There was absolutely nothing wrong I could find about this book. I admire the book because it does not guess its conclusion; rather, it is anchored in data and evidence on why the young generation feels poor. I learned about the UK government policies, including how endorsing the baby boomers over others resulted in huge debts that have been passed down to future generations. The author also confronts the issue of the cancer of individualism, a nonchalant attitude displayed by most baby boomers. There is a need for them to see beyond individualistic greed and work together to fix the system.
I'm rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. I found no errors in the book. This shows that it was professionally edited. I recommend this book to everyone, especially the younger generation so that they become aware of this intergenerational theft and how to alleviate the consequences of this theft from their lives.

Whoo! I love the subject matter. I wonder what are the reasons the author put forward for such differences in wealth in different generations. And I can't wait to read his solutions for that. Awesome review. Keep them coming!
