Generational stereotypes are fuelling fake generational culture wars that are distracting us from the real trends and threats. In particular, inequality is becoming increasingly intergenerational, generational separation is a more serious problem than a battle between the age groups, and our chronic short-termism is preventing us from dealing with the biggest issues we face. Embedding longer-term thinking that connects the generations is vital, as this session will show, based on Professor Bobby Duffy’s new book.
