And that means all of us--not just Baby Boomers.\"\u003cb\u003e --Eddie S. Glaude, Jr., James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor, Princeton University\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA popular \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e columnist takes a deep dive into what the end of the baby boom means for American politics and economics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePhilip Bump, a reporter as adept with a graph as with a paragraph, is popular for his ability to distill vast amounts of data into accessible stories. THE AFTERMATH is a sweeping assessment of how the baby boom created modern America, and where power, wealth, and politics will shift as the boom ends. How much longer than we'd expected will Boomers control wealth? Will millennials get shortchanged for jobs and capital as Gen Z rises? What kind of pressure will Boomers exert on the health care system? How do generations and parties overlap? When will regional identity trump age or ethnic or racial identity? Who will the future GOP voter be, and how does that affect Democratic strategies? What does the Census get right, and terribly wrong? The questions are myriad, and Bump is here to fight speculation with fact \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWriting with a light hand and deft humor, Bump helps us navigate the flood of data in which our sense of the country now drowns. He fits numbers into a narrative about who we are (including what \"we\" really means), how we vote, where we live, what we buy--and what predictions we can make with any confidence. We know what will happen eventually to the baby boomers. What we don't know is how the boomer legacies might reshape the country one final time. The answers in this book will help us manage the historic disruption of the American state we are now experiencing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Bump\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0593489691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593489697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Viking\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.49h x 6.46w x 1.33d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2022 pg. 13\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/04\/2022 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/06\/2023","brand":"Philip Bump","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070766772479,"sku":"9780593489697","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cdb8da8a-a81a-4211-bd65-b391c5fbd413.jpg?v=1685432221","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-aftermath-philip-bump-9780593489697","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
