Review
"A landmark...Harris is a peerless observer of the harrowing economic costs of 'meritocracy'."―n+1"Malcolm Harris offers up an exciting, persuasive argument that young people are not, in fact, monsters. An excellent gift for NPR-listening elders who appreciate a good debate and could use a little sympathy for the millennial."―New York Magazine"The first major accounting of the millennial generation written by someone who belongs to it."―Jia Tolentino, The New Yorker"When will someone stick up for millennials? We have been sheltered by our parents, swindled by our universities, deadened by our therapists, and for all this our reward has been glib condescension from the boomer press. Rising to our defense is Harris, a familiar provocateur from the internet's left flank. Harris contends that America has stiffed our generation...He brings a fresh, contrarian eye to some of the usual data points...As generational advocates go, we could do worse than Harris."―New York Times Book Review"Malcolm Harris's thesis is the kind of brilliantly simple idea that instantly clarifies an entire area of culture: Millennials are the way they are-anxious, harried, and 'narcissistically' self-focused, though hardly lazy or entitled-because the neoliberal economy has made them so. When we raise children in a world that reduces people to 'human capital', then bids down the price of that resource, what else should we expect? Kids These Days is deft, witty, unillusioned, and brutally frank. Read it and weep, puke, scream."―William Deresiewicz, New York Times bestselling author of Excellent Sheep"Kids These Days is the best, most comprehensive work of social and economic analysis about our benighted generation. Malcolm Harris matches Naomi Klein for depth of research and Jane Jacobs for systemic vision. If you're a millennial who feels economically jinxed and unfairly spat-upon, but can't say why, cram this book in your brain; if you think millennials are lazy and entitled, cram this book in your mouth. Fascinating, infuriating, and bulging with receipts, Kids These Days shows us why no space is safe."―Tony Tulathimutte, author of Private Citizens"This fiercely smart book is not just another 'millennials killed chain restaurants' kind of thing. Instead, Harris dives deep into the ways that the millennial generation has been shaped by the capitalist economic forces at work now in America. . . It's a must read for anyone who cares about the future of our society."―Nylon"It is difficult to believe nobody has written this book before, although it is fortunate that Harris--who manages to be quick and often funny without sacrificing rigor--is the author who ultimately took up the task. In fewer than three hundred pages, he surveys the myriad hot takes on millennials-they're lazy, they're entitled, they're narcissists who buy avocado toast instead of homes, slacking on Snapchat at their unpaid internships-and asks, 'Why?'"―Bookforum"Malcolm Harris restores a good deal of precision to the business of defining the millennial and generational discourse in general. Adhering to a Marxian and behaviorist account of society, Harris argues that you cannot understand millennials - those born between 1980 and 2000, which include him, and me for that matter - without examining the political, economic and social institutions that nurtured them... Through this lens we get a sweeping sketch of the bleak, anxiety-ridden lives of young Americans."―Financial Times"A methodical deconstruction of one of the stupidest tropes to degrade recent discourse. The 'millennial' is created, not born, as Harris shows, and as is true of all creations, her qualities reveal more about her makers than they do about her... Kids These Days answers a political moment defined both by youthful outrage and by the patronizing responses to it, which deny that it is informed by lived experience."―The Nation

Coherent, well-organized, insightful and scary analysis of a USA society and economy structurally engineered to make life extremely difficult for the Millennial generations.Harris supports his clear thesis throughout in journalistic manner with reference to dozens of studies, statistics and sources, however despite being scholarly high-level work his book is also riveting and a quick read, really puts our contemporary society in perspective especially for Millennials and Generation X.Particularly important with regard to employment prospects, competition, demographics and the stark reality of our near future.
If you are, or love, a millennial (hopefully all of us), you need to read this fresh look at the world they inherited. In very accessible prose, Harris delves deep into various facets of society from how we play and entertain ourselves, to how we work. He explains how we have raised a generation of kids, now adults, with more skills, credentials, and abilities, making them the most efficient and productive workers the world has ever seen. On the way to building all this human capital, we also created the most tested, stressed, prescribed, indebted, and incarcerated group of young people we have ever seen.It's not always cheery, but it's often funny, and extremely smart. Must read.
For some reason, some website I had visited recommended this book for youth ministry. I'm not completely sure why... perhaps because Millennials have nothing going for them and we in the church can leverage that into faith. (A somewhat snarky, but perhaps not entirely empty notion.)Certainly religion is left far off the map in Harris' analysis. Perhaps he should have included it in the Boomer legacy. Boomers left the church to chase after sex, drugs and rock and roll and then when they went to have kids didn't want to impose some faith on them, so left them to "find their own faith." Great plan, that. And so the faith in Christ that could mitigate this onslaught on childhood (and on into adulthood) has never been introduced to at least one, probably at least two generations. Harris has interesting statistical analysis and logical extrapolations from it, but no answers. (For that I don't fault him for not painting a faux ending.) I would be interested to hear how he thinks the dearth of spirituality impacted the doomed generation.
This book I feel is really important for Millennials to read and understand the hardships that have been strategically placed on our shoulders since the day we were born.Take this gold starMake it soarTake this gold starAnd redefine the lore.Lame poem but this book really hyped me up to start redefining Millennials and showing the generations before us who's in charge now. Do you feel like crap everyday? Do your friends take medication just to get through a week of finals? Do you hear older people complain about being on your phone all the time? This book shows how Gen X may have ruined the very idea of a Millennials and now refuse to take credit for it. Breaking down the specifics of the generation that is known for being unproductive and lazy shows how Millennials have become deprived of childhoods based on how much pressure is placed on them to be the best from the very beginning.
Wow, I can't say that I often finish books, but this I couldn't put down. I'm currently a college students studying engineering & I don't really have much time to read books for fun. I honestly was so intrigued by this book that I prioritized reading it every night until I got through it. This is a must read for any college student who is making important decision about his or her future. Super eye opening narrative about the lies we've been told all our lives about our potential for success & our ability to be in control of our future. It honestly is a bit of a bleak outlook, but a fascinating read nonetheless.
Although at times the information was tough to accept, the book opened up a new level of understanding for me. It's obvious how much research went into this book and that research leads to quite a bit of in-depth detail. It is this detail combined with the author's own experience that really makes this book worth reading. The combination of facts, circumstances, and experience paints a really morbid picture, however, there is enough here to work with towards more positive outcomes.
A truly great book that looks at the 'stereotypical Millennial' and explains how rampant late Capitalism created them. It's easy to poke fun at an entire generation; it is much harder to analyse where that generation is coming from. That's what Harris does in one of the most readable books of social economics I've ever encountered.
This book immediately appealed to me as a generational researcher (and classic millennial). I tell my Lifespan Development students that we aren't going to use the phrase "kids these days" because it immediately distances us from other generations. The two charts on the back of the book are really interesting and I have already been sharing them with others. I would have loved more recommendations towards the end of the book. Looking forward to following the rest of Harris's work now.
