“Intergenerational Theft” by Daniel Harrison is an eye-opener that highlights the inequality that exists between baby boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964) and the younger generations as a result of biassed government policy in the UK. The book also aims to show the younger generations why their future has been stolen from them and what they can do about it.

I admire the great deal of research and hard work put in by the author in the book. The charts, graphs, and tables are all glaring evidence for this argument. I learned a lot about UK government policies, including how favouring the baby boomers over others resulted in huge debts that have been passed down to future generations. There are many cases of intergenerational theft, such as in areas of income tax, national debt, privatisation, pensions, higher education, the Private Finance Initiative (PFI), climate change, and so on. Adding up the government policy areas that involve intergenerational theft amounts to £15 trillion.

In addition, the author addresses the issue of “the cancer of individualism," a nonchalant attitude displayed by most baby boomers. There is a need for them to see beyond myopic, individualistic greed and work collectively so that the system can be fixed. They also need to accept responsibility for individually and collectively creating the problem. Harrison goes on to list the likely response of baby boomers to this book, which he won’t find surprising. Furthermore, the author lists the consequences of intergenerational theft, including ways both the baby boomers and the younger generations alike could change the situation.

I don’t have any negative things to say about the book. I like how the author boldly addressed the burning desire to discuss the truths about intergenerational theft, which has been kind of hidden from the public by the government.

I only found a few errors, which gives it a professional look, and I proudly rate this book 5 out of 5 stars, as the language is simple and the author explained concepts and shared ideas in a detailed manner.

I highly recommend this book to all generations, including the UK government. Firstly to the younger generations, for them to be aware of this intergenerational theft and how it has greatly affected their future, then to the baby boomers themselves, so that all can join hands to alleviate the implications of the debt burden on younger generations.
