While Neil Howe has made some good contributions to our knowledge of generations, he continues to lose credibilty among generations experts by his sad attempts to undermine Generation Jones--the generation between the Boomers and Generation X. As is widely known within these experts' circles, he feels threatened by how popular the Generation Jones concept has become, because it makes his books out of date with current expert thinking. But his clearly self-serving and biased attempts to diss GenJones only serve to undrmine his own standing as a serious scholar of generations. This comment isn't intended as a personal attack on Howe, but rather to inform readers of this blog of important context re. Howe's views and role with generations.
