The author describes the "Baby Boomer" generation - old enough to be the millennials' parents - as "a generation born on third base who think they hit a triple." Those who entered the workforce during the economic boom of the 1970s-80s mistake the benefits they reaped from that prosperity for something they built with their own hands, the argument goes. The Baby Boomers created the model of the elite middle class and taught everyone to do their best to maintain or break into that class: "You need to get into a good university to land a good job, and you need a good job to escape poverty."
