About every eight decades, coincident with the most stressful and perilous events in U.S. historythe Revolutionary and Civil Wars and the Great Depression and World War IIa new, positive, accomplished, and group-oriented civic generation emerges to change the course of history and remake America. The Millennial Generation born 19822003 is Americas newest civic generation.In their 2008 book, Millennial Makeover, Morley Winograd and Michael D. Hais made a prescient argument that the Millennial Generation would change American politics for good. Later that year, a huge surge of participation from young voters helped to launch Barack Obama into the White House.Now, in Millennial Momentum, Winograd and Hais investigate how the beliefs and practices of the Millennials are transforming other areas of American culture, from education to entertainment, from the workplace to the home, and from business to politics and government.
