We've gotten so used to sloppy generational analysis filled with dumb clich s about young people that we've lost sight of what really unites Millennials. Namely: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e We are the most educated and hardworking generation in American history. We poured historic and insane amounts of time and money into preparing ourselves for the 21st-century labor market. We have been taught to consider working for free (homework, internships) a privilege for our own benefit. We are poorer, more medicated, and more precariously employed than our parents, grandparents, even our great grandparents, with less of a social safety net to boot. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eKids These Days\u003c\/i\u003e is about why. In brilliant, crackling prose, early Wall Street occupier Malcolm Harris gets mercilessly real about our maligned birth cohort. Examining trends like runaway student debt, the rise of the intern, mass incarceration, social media, and more, Harris gives us a portrait of what it means to be young in America today that will wake you up and piss you off. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Millennials were the first generation raised explicitly as investments, Harris argues, and in \u003ci\u003eKids These Days\u003c\/i\u003e he dares us to confront and take charge of the consequences now that we are grown up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Back Bay Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/11\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316510851\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Malcolm Harris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36636303818908,"sku":"9780316510851","price":14.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_665bf8f3-f0d0-4b92-b9e6-619d3c05a959.jpg?v=1603841544","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/kids-these-days-the-making-of-millennials-9780316510851","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
