Calling this relatively small group of struggling writers, students, hustlers, and drug addicts a "generation" was to make the claim that they were representative and important—the beginnings of a new trend, analogous to the influential Lost Generation.
There is typically very little mention of women in a history of the early Beat Generation, and a strong argument can be made that this omission is largely a reflection of the sexism of the time rather than a reflection of the actual state of affairs.

According to the generational model, the fiscally conservative policies and financial self restraint of the 1950's is a natural consequence of the generational peer-personalities of the adult generations: cautious, risk-adverse Nomads in elderhood, team-playing, disciplined Heroes in mid-life, and compliant Artists in rising adulthood.

To a later generation he seems an odd and unaccountable figure for the high role of national hero, yet he was as native and homespun as Lincoln, like him sprung from the common stock and learning his lessons from harsh experience, a figure blown to huge dimensions by the passions of civil war.
A generation that discovered something praiseworthy in the "smartness" of Jim Fisk, in the burly acquisitiveness of Commodore Vanderbilt, or in the clever humbuggery of Barnum the Showman, certainly would judge with no very critical eyes the claims to greatness of a grim leader of armies who succeeded where so many before had failed.
Yet so completely did the naive General reflect the spirit of the Gilded Age that his noisy followers, conspiring to con­fuse in the public mind southern reconstruction and capitalistic expansion, and hiding a precious set of rascals in the folds of the bloody flag, came near to making him President for a third term.

 ACVE - Career Development in Generation X
Although persons in the two generations before Generation X-the Silent generation (1925-1945) and Boom generation (1946-1964)-interpret these behaviors as indicative of low career drive and ambition (Bradford and Raines 1992), it may be that Generation X just views the concept of career differently than did those before them.
Generation X women who are in their twenties, likely to have been raised by working mothers, are better educated than the women in any other generation in U.S. history (Kruger 1994).
The real asset individuals in Generation X bring to the workplace is their knowledge of technology and their ability to concentrate on a number of tasks at one time.

The hypothesis for why this is,according to Generations and The Fourth Turning, is that the Civil War came about ten years too early; theadult generations allowed the worst aspects of their generational personalities to come through; and the Progressives grew upscarred rather than ennobled.

All three were children of an earlier century, endowed with the solidest Yankee-Puritan qualities of mind and heart, unyielding as the rock ledges of their native fields; and they found the experience of living in the late nineteenth century, of adjusting their eighteenth-century minds to the demands of a sordid capitalistic order, a difficult business.

Tucker argues that as the generation of Mugwumps shed their religious faith in favor of secular liberalism they held on even more tightly to Wayland's conception of moral philosophy, as it offered them an ethical anchor in a Godless world.
While they made little headway on this issue during their lifetimes, Mugwumps argued that tariff duties violated the general good, and were in fact an unholy marriage between greedy manufacturers and corrupt politicians.
Their commitment to the free market and free trade is suspect, given the academy's general distrust of the market as well as the mixed economic and human consequences of neoliberal trade agreements such as NAFTA.

 Lifecourse Associates: Generations of American Leaders
Once readers become accustomed to thinking about generations as birthyear-defined groups with their own location in history, their own attitudes and beliefs, and their own sense of collective identity, they want to know more about the timing of each generation’s political ascendancy and decline.
Foremost is our computation of each generation's “national leadership share” for every odd-numbered year since 1775.
From 1789 to the present, each generation’s national leadership share is a simple average of (1) its percentage share of all members in the U.S. House of Representatives, (2) its percentage share of all U.S. Senators, and (3) its percentage share of all state governors.
