what were the losses? Who were the winners, who were the losers?
How members of this generation have gone on to bring activism and
a Sixties mindset into individual entrepreneurship today. We hear
stories of how this formative decade has led to a recalibrated
perspective–on business, the environment, politics, family, our
national existence.
