Anya Kamenetz
Since graduating from Yale University in 2002, Kamenetz has worked as a journalist in New York City. In 2004, the Village Voice nominated her for a Pulitzer Prize in feature writing for her work on the feature series, “Generation Debt: The New Economics of Being Young.” Today, she reaches millions with the “Generation Debt” column as a personal finance expert for Yahoo! Finance. She covers the future of business, including sustainability and social entrepreneurship, as a staff writer for Fast Company magazine. And she appears on major news networks, including CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, CNBC, CSPAN, and NPR’s “Bryant Park Project”, commenting on financial, social, and political issues faced by young people.
Generation Debt (Riverhead Books, 2006), is her first book. She writes about the startling range of economic upheavals facing young people in their 20s and 30s: the rising cost of higher education, soaring student loan and credit card debt, an increasingly uncertain job market, health care and retirement worries, and international competition. She asks the question: What is the new future-focused economic compact we need to restore the promise of America as a true meritocracy?
