"The nature of youth is to question. So when 24-year-old Anya Kamenetz started out as a freelance journalist, she began asking hard questions about her generation for which no one seemed to have good answers. Why were college students nationwide graduating with an average of nearly $20,000 in student loans? Why were her friends thousands of dollars in credit-card debt? Why did so many jobs for people under thirty-five involve a plastic name badge, last only short-term, and not include benefits? With record deficits and threats to Social Security, what kind of future was shaping up for our nation's kids?" If any of those things piss you off as well, you should pick up Generation Debt by Anya Kamenetz.
