Here’s a book I, or one of you who then report back to us on your findings, need to read: The Pinch: How the Baby Boomers Took Their Children’s Future – And Why They Should Give it Back

From here:

The Guardian – The Tory frontbencher deserves to be cherished as a rare politician who injects rigour into any debate

a wonderfully readable account of the generational clash, which is published today. The Pinch mixes an authoritative exposition of how the baby boomers scooped the wealth pot with unexpected film-buffery, and fascinating factual nuggets about the surprisingly large tally of grey beards in the 17th century, and the power of tax cuts to lure frail Australians into raging successfully against the dying of the light. He explores the deep demographic currents of our time and the deep ethical challenges that they pose. If Cameron wins in the spring, here are two brains that he cannot afford to live without.

Die, ye Boomers, die!
