Generations - And the Challenge of Justice (Paperback)

Some of the more pressing matters confronting us as individuals, as communities and as a nation involve fundamental issues of intergenerational justice. These include caring for aged parents, balancing the rights and well-being of our children with our own rights and well-being, financing Social Security, allocating the costs of our federal budget deficits and our mushrooming national debt, and imposing delayed environmental costs on future generations. Generations develops a theory of intergenerational justice and applies it to these five sets of issues. Since justice between generations will be a reality only if we reach beyond our own age group and affirm the humanity of others, the volume profiles each of the six generations currently living in the United States, drawing upon interviews with members of each generation to give expression to their concerns. The volume concludes with a discussion of the practical difficulties inherent in making justice between generations a reality."
