Gen F'd?

‘Alison is truly the economist for this generation. This book lays out how Gen F’d got here, what they can do to get out of it, and what changes Australia needs to make to ensure we all get a fair go. It will make you angry, but it will also hopefully make you determined.’ – Amy Remeikis

‘Pennington’s Gen F’d? is packed with insights on how this generation might earn a shot at a future worth living for.‘ – Yanis Varoufakis ‘Gen F’d? is here, for everyone who wants some hard evidence of the structuralised economic disadvantage of young people as opposed to the fact-free self-flattery of – oh, I dunno – wage-thieves.’  – Van Badham ‘A revolutionary economic roadmap for Australia’s disenfranchised youth.‘  – Nanci Nott, Arts Hub
