Gen Z is often dismissed as apathetic. But interviews with leading scholars suggest otherwise: a generation coming of age amid crises in housing, work, and political institutions is not losing faith in politics but in the promises of capitalism.
So was Gen X. We were the slacker generation. There’s nothing new here; people have been complaining about young generations since the ancient Egyptians.
But the generation that really let us down were the baby boomers, who started out with the high-minded ideals of the hippies, and then voted for neoliberalism and the teardown of all the institutions that helped people.

Absolutely. Every generation has its poor and its rich., its good people and its bad ones. The real issue is thst that divide has been growing bigger over the past 4 decades, which makes it harder for younger generations to build the kind of life that was standard for older generations.
