Summary

A widely-read Washington Post columnist takes a deep dive into what the end of the baby boom means for American politics and economics. 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? What does the Census get right, and terribly wrong? The questions are myriad, and Bump is here to fight speculation with fact. 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
