DISINHERITED: HOW WASHINGTON IS BETRAYING AMERICA’S YOUNG
Book ID/图书代码： 02740015B84244
English Summary/英文概要： Tens of millions of Americans are between the ages of 18 and 30. These Americans, known as millennials, are, or soon will be, entering the workforce. For them, achieving success will be more difficult than it was for young people in the past.
This is not because they are less intelligent, they have worked less hard, or they are any less deserving of the American dream. It is because Washington made decisions that render their lives more difficult than those of their parents or grandparents. Their younger siblings and their children will be even worse off, all because Washington has refused to fix the problem.
This book describes the personal stories of several members of this disinherited generation. Their experiences are not unique. It is impossible to hear these stories and not understand that holding back a nation’s young is the antithesis of fairness and no way to make economic or social progress.
Their stories are an indictment of America’s treatment of its young. A nation that prides itself on its future has mortgaged it. A nation that historically took pride in its youth culture has become a nation that steals from its young. People who should have fulfilling, productive lives are sidelined, unemployed, or underemployed.
Meanwhile, America expects millennials and others of the disinherited generation to pay higher taxes for government programs that benefit middle-aged and older Americans, many of whom have better jobs and more assets.
It is time someone told the full story of the crisis facing America’s young. The future of America can be saved, but only if our government’s betrayal comes to an end. It is a war without victors, only victims. The birthright of the America’s young must be restored, and the time to do so is now. This book explains how.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 今天，美国拥有数以百千万计处于18-30岁之间的青年。这些美国青年被称为千禧一代，正在或即将成为劳动力，进入劳动岗位。然而对于他们而言，取得成功却远比曾经的青年们要艰难许多。
这并非因为他们没有上一代人聪明，也不是因为他们没有前人勤奋努力，亦或者说，他们不值得拥有美国梦。事实上，是华盛顿的决定让他们的生活比起父辈，乃至祖父辈们更加艰难。比他们小的兄弟姐妹以及他们的孩子们，则将面临更为严峻的挑战，所有这一切都起因于华盛顿拒绝修复问题所在。
本书将讲述断层一代中一些人的故事。他们的经历也并非个例。听完这些故事后，相信你就会明白，让一个国家的年轻人无法获得发展不仅有悖公平，更重要的是这将阻碍推进经济和社会的进步。
他们的故事是对美国对待年轻人方式的控诉。这个以自身未来而骄傲不已的国家抵押了他的青年一代。一个历史上以其年轻文化为荣的国家现已成为压榨偷盗其年轻一代的国家。那些本该拥有美满，活力生活的年轻人如今正被剥夺生活的机会，他们或是失业，或是从事着与自身能力不相匹配的工作。
与此同时，美国还期待这千禧一代和其他断层一代能够缴纳更高额的赋税，服务政府的中老年项目，尽管中老年人群通常多数都拥有更好的工作和更多的资产。
是时候有人来为美国年轻一代发声，讲述他们的故事和所面临的危机了。只要我们的政府能停止对年轻一代的背叛，美国的未来便还有救。这是一场只有受害者，没有赢家的战争。美国青年们与生俱来的权利必须夺回，而此时正当时。本书将细细道来我们究竟该何去何从。（DC）
