Joseph C. Sternberg Keynote Speaker

Joseph C. Sternberg is the author of ‘The Theft of a Decade: How the Baby Boomers Stole the Millennials’ Economic Future’. The book is a searing and contrarian narrative which blames government’s over-use of monetary and fiscal stimuli for the millennial predicament. A free-market advocate, Joseph believes over regulation has discouraged hiring and government intervention prevented a much-needed correction in the housing market. The result is a justifiably disenchanted millennial class turning away from mainstream politics. Set for release on May 14th, the book promises to provoke widespread discussion on one of the most pressing issues of the current social and political climate.

Joseph C. Sternberg is editorial-page editor and Political Economics columnist for the Journal’s European edition. He joined the Journal in 2006 as an editorial writer in Hong Kong, where he also edited the Business Asia column.

Previously he worked as a journalist in Washington, D.C. Raised in Vermont, Mr. Sternberg is a graduate of The College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va.
