The Next America: Boomers, Millennials, and the Looming Generational Showdown Description
Review
“Masterful” —Washington Post
“The book’s greatest strength lies in its detailed analysis of significant trends—from politics to lifestyle choices—among the four generational groups surveyed….Taylor proves a plainspoken translator of…survey data, and makes… statistical techniques accessible to the lay reader.”—Publishers Weekly
“An incisive survey of vast recent changes in American society and the ever-wider generation gap between baby boomers and millennials…. In this well-written, data-rich book, Taylor…examines the demographic, economic, social, cultural and technological changes that are reshaping the nation…. An authoritative report and required reading for policymakers.” —Kirkus
“An eye-opening and wonderfully written account of how swiftly our country is changing, and how we can preserve our social compact across the generational and ethnic divide. A brilliant analyst of public policy and social trends, Paul Taylor offers a hopeful look at America’s future in challenging times—studded with fact, and penetrating and revealing from page to page. The Next America is an indispensable book for anyone who wants to know where we are, and where we are going.” —Richard North Patterson, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Loss of Innocence
“Informed by decades of research data, The Next America is a lucid exploration of the social, cultural, economic, and demographic trends that are reshaping every corner of our society. Taylor’s focus is the fundamental generational shifts that are redefining who we are as a people. His analysis of where we’ve been and where we’re headed is the best and most comprehensive you’ll read this year.” —Neil Howe, author of The Fourth Turn and Millennials Rising
“The Next America provides a lively, readable guided tour through the numbers that will influence how well the young adults of today will support the seniors of tomorrow.” —Andrew Cherlin, Griswold Professor of Public Policy at Johns Hopkins University and author of The Marriage Go-Round
"A provocative yet balanced assessment of intergenerational relations, filled with invaluable data. Essential reading for citizens and policy-makers alike."—Stephanie Coontz, author of The Way We Never Were: American Families and the Nostalgia Trap
