I remember reading John Lanchester’s Whoops! in 2010 and thinking this guy actually gets what the financial crash was really about.

Reading his piece today about inter generational conflict, I find him a slightly defensive boomer (mostly around gender) but otherwise he’s spot on again.

He skewers:

- house prices
- pensions
- quantitative easing
- Brexit

Did baby boomers eat all the pies? John Lanchester on the truth about the generation gap

It’s a grim time to be in your 20s, no doubt, but don’t blame it all on older people: being chopped up into ever smaller rivalries only serves the market
