Group Memories

Stumbling and Mumbling: Memories, & mechanisms:
"My favourite example of this is Andrew Newell's explanation of why the inflation/unemployment trade-off worsened in the late 60s. It was, he says, because a generation of workers who remembered the depression of the 1930s retired and were replaced by a generation that had known nothing but security and full employment and so were more emboldened to push for higher wages."
I believe this and think it is one thing that the US has going for it, the Reagan generation is getting old and dying off. There's a good chance that the next generation-to-take-control's memory will be "Big banks and big corporations are the problem" not,..  "Government is the problem".
