Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Trade paperback. Looks at the big ideas that dominated the era - liberation, permissiveness and self-invention - to consider what the generation really wanted to achieve. The radical beliefs of the generation were often old ideas dressed up in new clothes - often from Biba - but how responsible were they for the self-interest and greed of the Eighties?

Publisher's description:

Looks at the radical beliefs to which the author's generation subscribed, little realising they were often old ideas dressed up in new forms, sometimes patterned by BIBA. This book considers whether she and her peers were as serious as they thought about changing the world, if the radical sixties were funded by the baby-boomers' parents.
