The pinch

Book • 2010
In 'The Pinch', David Willetts examines the intergenerational tensions and inequalities created by the baby boomer generation.

He argues that this demographic has accumulated wealth and power at the expense of their children and grandchildren, affecting areas such as housing, education, and employment.

The book proposes solutions to address these imbalances and ensure a more equitable future for younger generations.
