DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Baby Boom or Bust is a mostly chronological, frequently irreverent memoir that crosses six notable decades. Baby boomers were borne of The Silent Generation, a large group of prolific breeders between the baby boomer and Greatest Generation eras. Following World War II, America evolved at seemingly exponential rates in critical areas such as technology, transportation, and infrastructure. The entire kingdom was ultimately handed off to baby boomers whether they were prepared or not. The Silent Generation is most remembered for a strong work ethic and dedication to family, career, and success. Baby boomers were the original slackers, chock full of idealism and rebellion. Almost everything in society changed as they grew up. This story must be told from the twisted perspective of someone who lived through it. Why not me? Someone HAD to write it. This work archives an adventurous, often out-of-the-ordinary childhood in the heartland of America during the 1950s and 1960s, entry into the workforce during the turbulent decade of the 1970s, and ultimately tackles significant (but generally entertaining) career challenges. Boomers like me often risked it all, across the globe and into a new century. Baby boomers are widely known within contexts of what they invented, exploited, or enhanced. It was the generation of sex, drugs and rock & roll. Chapters are segregated into those three general categories, with emphasis on rock & roll. Along the way are colorful and occasionally famous characters, well-known places, and half a century of tawdry escapades. The story is part Forrest Gump and part Private Parts. Many colorful adventures may be unique to the author but are easily relatable to most boomers who grew up during the same decades. That generation turned out to be more pivotal in societal evolution than anyone imagined. A concise, irreverent chronicle of the most important parts of the journey is long overdue.

The hypothesis is that: (i) The secular decline in fertility is due to the relentless rise in real wages that increased the opportunity cost of having children. (ii) The baby boom is explained by an atypical burst of technological progress in the household sector that occurred in the middle of the last century. This lowered the cost of having children. A model is developed in an attempt to account, quantitatively, for both the baby boom and bust.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Though the world's population continues to grow, total fertility rates are dropping below replacement level in many parts of the world. The Baby Bust, a landmark book of essays by demographic, economic, and political science experts, examines the global birth dearth and its causes, implications, and policy options. Focusing in large part on the United States, this book also includes data from Europe and Japan and makes important comparisons between the three regions. It concludes with suggestions for making America's future sound and prosperous, through the regularization and legalization of appropriate levels of immigration; enhancing governmental efforts to increase productivity; and finally, ending the present waste of so many underutilized members of the workforce, particularly minorities and the poor.
