Was the unification of Japan under the Oda and Tokugawa shoguns the best scenario for Japanese prosperity prior to the restoration of imperial rule or were there other more promising clans that failed to take power in the sengoku period?

My bet for next best thing would be Hōjō domination of Honshu. They were pretty great before their decline.
Personally I like the Shimazu clan more because of their GOAT battlefield tactics, but I don't know if they would have been better rulers though.
So is this book any accurate? I've seen a few people talk about this now but its premise seems almost like that of a fantasy novel to me

Are Boomers the only legitimate generation?
They certainly seem to think so.
The only legitimately evil generation, sure.
In terms of actual demographics, yes. They're the only ones recognized by the census as a generation - terms like "millenial" were invented by the corporate media
