Is there a way to calculate whether a generation took more wealth out than it created? Inter-generational wealth accounting seems hard, but seems more meaningful than inter-class wealth accounting. Like, quantify whether a generation has net borrowed from or bequeathed to future.

No doubt there is, but I must ask ... to what end?
Figuring out which group is "to blame" (whether categorised by age or socioeconomic class or political preference or national border) doesn't even get everyone working together, let alone solving the problem. 😐

Verily to wreak vengeance unto them. Or at least high taxes or something.

LOL - wow, refreshing honesty! 😆
How about ... as a means of ethically justifying a variety of rebalancing acts (e.g. taxes) which will likely be required as part of the solution set?

Plus a few ethically sourced guillotines perhaps, made of organic sustainably farmed wood and recycled steel 🤔
