This weekend’s cover story is about how an entire generation is struggling with pressure and uncertainty. Between Boomers and Gen Z, there’s a generation that keeps the economy running but is barely heard and under enormous strain. If these people are doing poorly, the country suffers. The piece was written by financial expert Markus Hinterberger, head of the careers team Julia Beil, and deputy weekend section head Christian Wermke – who is also the initiator and community manager of the Handelsblatt NFT Club. The cover was designed by Lennart Gäbel, known for his cover “Liberty Loaded.”
