Marie Le Conte hears stories from a generation who have had their lives book-ended by two economic crises.

Marie Le Conte explores the shared experiences of people aged 29 to 33, members of the so-called crisis cohort, who have had their adult lives book-ended by the financial crash of 2008 and the huge economic downturn caused by the Coronavirus.

Finally, she asks how her generation has seen these twin crises shape their values - both politically and personally..
