The Vintage Generation: Lets Have a Rocking Chair Revolution - Green Perspectives of Older People (Paperback)

This book features green voices from around the world and will explore the new world where far more people are older and a significant force in the economy. After a century of the cult of the young - things have changed and economically for the first time in a very long time, much older people are much better off than much younger people in general. This is a sudden change which has happened over the last 12 years and we seek to explore the new realities of life for everyone as well as the particular challenges, for society and for the individual, of life as an older person. We would like to create an economy which is welcoming to all the new older people we have in society so that they can play their full part and reach their own full potential in a supportive environment and economy, enriching their lives and participating with a respectful society for their experience and wisdom. As greens we value life long learning and participation.
