In "The Aftermath: The Last Days of the Baby Boom and the Future of Power in America," Washington Post correspondent Philip Bump explains how America's largest generation became America itself. Their considerable demands on schools, infrastructure, culture and communication defined the second half of the twentieth century, and set up a generational conflict with millennials. The data-driven journalist explains how the scale of America's population growth from 1946 to 1964 remade power and politics, and how long their influence will be felt. We also discussed his life as a national correspondent for a major newspaper and how writing a book is different from writing columns.
