书籍简介
"菲利普-邦普帮助我们理解，无论我们的日子有多麻烦，这个国家的未来都取决于我们现在所做的事情。这意味着我们所有的人，不仅仅是婴儿潮一代。" ——普林斯顿大学James S. McDonnell杰出大学教授Eddie S. Glaude, Jr.
一位广受欢迎的《华盛顿邮报》专栏作家深入探讨了婴儿潮的结束对美国政治和经济意味着什么。
菲利普-邦普是一位善于使用图表和段落的记者，因其将大量数据提炼成易于理解的故事的能力而广受欢迎。后会无期》全面评估了婴儿潮如何创造了现代美国，以及随着婴儿潮的结束，权力、财富和政治将转向何处。婴儿潮一代控制财富的时间会比我们预期的长多少？随着Z世代的崛起，千禧一代会不会在工作和资本方面受到损害？婴儿潮一代将对医疗保健系统施加什么样的压力？几代人和政党是如何重叠的？地区身份何时会战胜年龄或民族或种族身份？未来的共和党选民会是谁，这对民主党的战略有何影响？人口普查在哪些方面做对了，哪些方面做错了？这些问题不胜枚举，而邦普在这里用事实来对抗猜测。
邦普以轻松的笔触和巧妙的幽默感，帮助我们在数据的洪流中摸索，我们对国家的认识现在已经淹没在其中。他将数字融入关于我们是谁（包括 "我们 "的真正含义）、我们如何投票、我们住在哪里、我们买什么的叙述中，以及我们可以有把握地做出什么预测。我们知道婴儿潮时期的人会发生什么。我们不知道的是，婴儿潮一代的遗产会如何重塑这个国家。本书中的答案将帮助我们管理我们现在正在经历的美国国家的历史性混乱。
“Philip Bump helps us understand that no matter the troubles of our days, the future of this nation rests with what we do now. And that means all of us—not just Baby Boomers.” —Eddie S. Glaude, Jr., James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor, Princeton University
A popular Washington Post columnist takes a deep dive into what the end of the baby boom means for American politics and economics.
Philip Bump, a reporter as adept with a graph as with a paragraph, is popular for his ability to distill vast amounts of data into accessible stories. THE AFTERMATH is a sweeping assessment of how the baby boom created modern America, and where power, wealth, and politics will shift as the boom ends. How much longer than we'd expected will Boomers control wealth? Will millennials get shortchanged for jobs and capital as Gen Z rises? What kind of pressure will Boomers exert on the health care system? How do generations and parties overlap? When will regional identity trump age or ethnic or racial identity? Who will the future GOP voter be, and how does that affect Democratic strategies? What does the Census get right, and terribly wrong? The questions are myriad, and Bump is here to fight speculation with fact
Writing with a light hand and deft humor, Bump helps us navigate the flood of data in which our sense of the country now drowns. He fits numbers into a narrative about who we are (including what "we" really means), how we vote, where we live, what we buy—and what predictions we can make with any confidence. We know what will happen eventually to the baby boomers. What we don't know is how the boomer legacies might reshape the country one final time. The answers in this book will help us manage the historic disruption of the American state we are now experiencing.
