This was a pretty interesting look by the Economist of younger folks in the US and Europe these days, focusing in particular on the recent drop in crime, increase in temperance, and a general shift in values among the upcoming generation.
For whatever reason, the piece reminded me of a blog post by Kali Hawlk I read a few weeks ago, entitled, "Millennials, Stop Putting Your Money in the Mattress,"which argued that while young people today are doing well saving money and being frugal, they're doing a lousy job of growing that wealth via investment.
The two pieces seem to point in the same general direction, chiefly that the "Millennial Generation" is not as criminal, lazy, or decadent as some may have been led to believe.
Happy Saturday :)
