520    "A widely-read 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"--|cProvided by publisher.
