THE AFTERMATH - PHILIP BUMP GEBUNDEN

Philip Bump helps us understand that no matter the troubles of our days  the future of this
nation rests with what we do now. And that means all of us not just Baby Boomers. Eddie S.
Glaude  Jr.  James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor  Princeton UniversityA
popular Washington Post columnist takes a deep dive into what the end of the baby boom means
for American politics and economics. Philip Bump  a reporter as adept with a graph as with a
paragraph  is popular for his ability to distill vast amounts of data into accessible stories.
THE AFTERMATH is a sweeping assessment of how the baby boom created modern America  and where
power  wealth  and politics will shift as the boom ends. How much longer than we'd expected
will Boomers control wealth? Will millennials get shortchanged for jobs and capital as Gen Z
rises? What kind of pressure will Boomers exert on the health care system? How do generations
and parties overlap? When will regional identity trump age or ethnic or racial identity? Who
will the future GOP voter be  and how does that affect Democratic strategies? What does the
Census get right  and terribly wrong? The questions are myriad  and Bump is here to fight
speculation with fact Writing with a light hand and deft humor  Bump helps us navigate the
flood of data in which our sense of the country now drowns. He fits numbers into a narrative
about who we are (including what we really means)  how we vote  where we live  what we buy and
what predictions we can make with any confidence. We know what will happen eventually to the
baby boomers. What we don't know is how the boomer legacies might reshape the country one final
time. The answers in this book will help us manage the historic disruption of the American
state we are now experiencing.
