Description

Book Synopsis
Some of the more pressing matters confronting us-as individuals, as communities and as a nation-involve fundamental issues of intergenerational justice. These include caring for aged parents, balancing the rights and well-being of our children with our own rights and well-being, financing Social Security, allocating the costs of our federal budget deficits and our mushrooming national debt, and imposing delayed environmental costs on future generations. Generations develops a theory of intergenerational justice and applies it to these five sets of issues.

Trade Review
The book is written for general readers and provides useful historical, ethical, and policy analyses of generational issues. It probably fits best in lower-division undergraduate courses, but merits reading by anyone seeking to understand current generations and the challenges they face. * CHOICE *
