LTF Stock #: 000415
In Boomer, cultural critic Charles Taylor examines the Baby Boomer generation’s profound impact on modern Western society. Blending history, sociology, and political commentary, Taylor explores how the social revolutions of the 1960s shaped decades of economic, cultural, and moral change. He dissects the rise of individualism, consumerism, and media influence while addressing how the generation that once rebelled against conformity came to define the establishment itself. The book delves into the contradictions of the Boomer ethos—championing freedom yet fostering inequality—and how this paradox continues to influence politics, work, and identity today. Taylor’s analytical prose connects generational behavior to broader societal trends, offering readers a critical, sometimes nostalgic, look at a generation both celebrated and blamed for the world it built.
