Boomers: The rise of the gerontocracy

Boomers delves into the rise of gerontocracy: the rule of the old. Against the backdrop of a high-stakes US presidential election in which a 78-year-old will challenge an 81-year-old for the title of oldest president ever, it lays bare the terrifying consequences of a global shift towards a world in which age increasingly equals power.

Coming 2024.
