In my travels around the world, I have been very impressed by today’s young people. They are smart, caring, creative, and generous. I share the hope expressed by Greenberg and Weber that this new generation will help re-orient our planet and conquer the problems of poverty, war, and pollution that currently plague it. -Muhammad Yunus, Founder of Grameen Bank and Co-Winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize
Energy, health care, national security, the environment–these are just some of the issues where Americans are hungry for solutions rather than slogans and posturing. I see hope in the fact that, as Greenberg and Weber detail in this important book, America’s next generation will be prepared to help lead the search for real answers.-U.S. Senator Harry Reid (D-NV), Majority Leader of the U.S. Senate
We live in amazing times–times of looming crisis as well as incredible opportunity. Tens of millions of young people around the world are eager for change and looking for ways to employ their unprecedented levels of knowledge, talent, and energy. Greenberg and Weber’s GENERATION WE offers a roadmap for the revolutionary movement the Millennials are ready to launch.-Larry Brilliant, Executive Director, Google.org
For too long, Americans have allowed themselves to be divided–liberal against conservative, rich against poor, race against race–while the challenges we face have gone unmet. It’s time for a new politics based on innovation and a shared commitment to the greater good, and Greenberg and Weber explain how American youth are ready to help make it happen.-Tom Daschle, Former Majority Leader of the United States Senate
In a political world poisoned by cynicism and spin, the idealism, optimism, commitment, and energy of the Millennial generation offer an inspiring antidote. With their independent thinking and their readiness to abandon the partisan wars we’ve been fighting for too long, today’s young people are poised to lead a worldwide revolution. Generation We captures this transformational moment with insight and clarity.-Arianna Huffington, founder, The Huffington Post
Product Description
In the last three years, the Millennial Generation has emerged as a powerful political and social force. Currently including 95 million young people born between 1978 and 2000, the Millennials are the largest generation in history. They are also the first post-ideological, post-political, and post-partisan generation, and they are spearheading a period of sweeping change in America and around the world.
Generation We explores the emerging power of the Millennial Generation, shows how they (and their supporters from other generations) are poised to change our nation and our world for the better, and lays out a powerful plan for progressive change that today s youth is ready to implement. Generation We presents for the first time the results of a major research study into the characteristics of the Millennial Generation, including an in-depth survey of 2,000 individuals and a series of twelve geographically- and demographically-diverse focus groups, all sponsored by author Eric Greenberg and conducted by Gerstein | Agne Strategic Communications, one of the most respected research organizations in the United States. It s the essential guide to the values, dreams, and enormous potential of the Millennials, and could serve as a spark to help kindle the coming youth movement that will restore the damaged American dream.
The young members of Generation We are inheriting a world rife with war, environmental degradation, dysfunctional health and educational systems, dangerous dependence on fossil fuels and foreign oil, creeping totalitarianism, diminished civil rights, and a fragile economy. Generation We believes that we must innovate our way out of this complex set of problems, discovering and implementing solutions that will work on a global scale and we need to do it soon.
Generation We suggests an agenda by which today s youth can help lead an American renaissance. As Greenberg and Weber show, the best way to launch the Millennial revolution is with Project FREE, a massive scientific and industrial program to move America beyond fossil fuels by inventing the next generation of non-carbon based energy a program that will save the environment, end our dependence on foreign oil, create millions of jobs, and jump-start a massive economic boom. Project FREE could be one of humankind s greatest achievements and a proud legacy for the Millennial generation.
Generation We also answers the question, What can I do to help turn this vision of a better America into reality? It offers a list of specific steps citizens of any age can take to help promote the progressive ideals and program outlined in the book. Generation We is the book that can inspire a generation to achieve new heights of greatness, allowing Americans to take back control of our lives, our communities, our country, and our future. NEW! Generation We has won the Montaigne Medal for most thought provoking book.
