Blame the Baby Boomers

There's nothing like being educated whilst cooking the Sunday roast and today that education has come courtesy of an RSA talk recorded back in June posing the question Have the Baby Boomers made us go Bust? Being part of Generation Y, I found myself drawn in, in order to expand my limited knowledge on the Baby Boomers, especially in the context of understanding what types of effects this generation may have had on mine.
Kicking of this provocation is playwright and novelist Bonnie Greer with her take on the Baby Boomers legacy, and what impact this generation has had on society today. One by one, each of the panelists, most of them Baby Boomers themselves, put forward their take on the the positive and negative attributes of this era. This talk begins gently but then crescendo's up to a passionate heated debate at times which makes for good listening and rather than sounding like a dry university lecture, it's more as though you've invited some intelligent opinionated friends round for dinner.
The RSA website has a large selection of mind massaging podcasts and this particular one is taken from the RSA Thursdays series, a weekly lunchtime debate.
