About this listen

The much-admired George Bailey was not a stand-out but an almost perfect representative of his Greatest Generation, as historians argue in this episode that spotlights the relationship of parents and children and the yin and yang of eras, seeking a culprit to who upside-down’d America from the ethos of It's a Wonderful Life.  Those of George’s generation, born between 1901 and ‘27, and called the Greatest, begrudgingly set aside their more selfish ambitions to ultimately become the most progressive in history, leaving their children a far better world.  How did their parents’ generation, like George’s father, inspire them?  And how, by contrast, did the generation of George’s daughter Zuzu – the Baby Boomers – come to reverse it all?  And a new generation shows signs of being Bailey-like.  SaveGeorgeBailey.com
