Generation desperation : how I made - and lost - a million dollars
Hurst, Alexander2026
Books
In 2020, Alexander Hurst was 29 years old and broke, living as a writer in a cramped Paris flat-share. There were murmurs that a global pandemic was coming. Financial stability seemed unattainable, so far removed from his reality - the reality of the generation who came of age during the 2008 financial crisis. On a whim, he poured his meagre savings into highly risky options trading. Within a year this small set of stocks was worth $1.2 million. It was more money than Alexander - and his family - could ever have conceived of, set to turn his life on its head. And then, soon after, it was gone. He had lost it all. In exploring Alexander's remarkable rise and fall from wealth, 'Generation Desperation' grapples with the vital questions of our age: what do class and status mean in a late-stage capitalist society?
