	Description:		We've heard it all before. 'Boomers' - arguably the most disliked generation - only think about themselves, while millennials (aka 'snowflakes') wouldn't know a hard day's work if it slapped them across the face. But where does all of this generational angst - which is by no means new - get us? Bobby Duffy is a Professor of Public Policy and Director of the Policy Institute, King's College London. In his new book, Generations, he argues that it's a shame people see fit to sum entire generations up in just a few characteristics, because acknowledging the differences between the different generations is essential for the progress of society. Duffy joins the show to discuss the generational wars and how throughout history it's always been the latest generation of young people who are viewed as uniquely wrong or weird.
