{"product_id":"9781987964202","title":"The Last Generation: From Lost to Greatest Again","description":"The Last Generation are young adults that arrive into their twenties unable to buy a home, nor a car; they cannot afford rents with their available wages. Unable to get into academic programs as they wish, unable to start families at a young age if they choose, and unable to pursue careers that are worthwhile or interesting to them. \u003cp\u003eLost - as they begin adulthood with the short end of the stick by most reasonable measures of opportunity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast - because this is the Generation that creates positive Revolution. This is the generation that arrives into each economic cycle's end unable to make a life easily. At first we see social anxiety and social problems, and then suicides, and then desperation as scarcity continues and societies continue to collapse until - finally - large groups of people get angry. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Last Generation, born around 1995, is also the group that emerges from an Economic Reset to begin a new economic cycle as well; so they are literally, the Last Lost Generation of a sixty-year Longwave Economics Cycle. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe previous Last Generation would have been the young adults of the mid-1930s - born around 1918; we call them the Greatest Generation today because they took society through our last Reset - World War II - and on to economic success in a society filled with opportunity and equality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe also happen to be living in a mature nuclear-weapons era today. Nuclear arsenals are designed to keep the peace - ironically; to deter us from self-annihilation through war - or to ensure our own end should we decide that war is a more desirable alternative to devising thoughtful, peaceful solutions to our problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo, is this latest Last Generation going to be the last of the Last Generations as well? They very well could be, and not because of nuclear holocaust, but because of Education.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dashflows Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47019965022448,"sku":"9781987964202","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781987964202_p0.jpg?v=1763672782","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781987964202","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
