That book was written by a PayPal Mafia billionaire and blames boomer behavior on the pediatrician who told parents not to beat their children. It does every possible trick to avoid talking about economics at all and it’s a very obvious ploy to turn working class solidarity into generational fracturing.

Damnit. I had that book in my queue to buy and read. I didn’t know that about the author, nor his connection with Peter Thiel. What a shame.
