A Generation of Sociopaths: How the Baby Boomers Betrayed America Audiobook (Free)

In his ‘remarkable’ (Men’s Journal) and ‘controversial’ (Fortune) book — written inside a ‘wry, amusing style’ (The Guardian) — Bruce Cannon Gibney displays how America was hijacked with the Boomers, a generation whose reckless self-indulgence degraded the foundations of American prosperity. INSIDE A Era of Sociopaths, Gibney examines the devastating policies of the most powerful generation in contemporary history, showing how the Boomers ruthlessly enriched themselves at the expense of future generations.

Acting without empathy, prudence, or respect for facts–acting, quite simply, as sociopaths–the Boomers converted American dynamism into stagnation, inequality, and bipartisan fiasco. The Boomers possess set a time bomb for the 2030s, when damage to Social Security, public budget, and the environment can be catastrophic and possibly irreversible–and when, not really coincidentally, Boomers will become dying off.

Gibney argues that younger years have a fleeting windowpane to hold the Boomers accountable and begin restoring America.
