RaveThe Los Angeles Review of BooksIn his well-researched and depressing book Kids These Days: Human Capital and the Making of Millennials, Malcolm Harris does the important work of putting the generational experience of American millennials within a historical context and critiquing the capitalist structures that put them in this precarious position. It is important work, because, as he writes, ‘soon ‘millennial’ won’t refer to those rascally kids with their phones, it will be a dominant character of a new America’ … Harris’s book is a fine gift for the insufferable Baby Boomers in your life whose brains have been dulled by Fox News, or for the liberals who spout off about millennials with their narcissistic selfies and dangerous entitlement.
