Name: Kids These Days
Rating: 4 (3 reviews)
Author: Malcolm Harris

Malcolm Harris explores why Millennials—often labeled lazy or entitled—remain poorer, more medicated, and less protected by safety nets than previous generations. Drawing on data and cultural analysis, he shows how systemic forces such as runaway student debt, the rise of the intern, mass incarceration, and the professionalization of childhood have shaped a generation conditioned to view themselves as human capital. Harris’s investigation offers a stark, informative look at the economic, social, and technological currents that have made young Americans vulnerable, and challenges readers to rethink the pathways ahead.
