520    "Millennials have been stereotyped as lazy, entitled, 
       narcissistic, and developmentally delayed. In fact, they 
       are the hardest working and most educated generation in 
       American history, a generation that poured unprecedented 
       amounts of time and money into preparing themselves for 
       the 21st century market. Yet here they are: poorer, more 
       medicated, more precariously employed, and with less of a 
       social safety net than their parents or even their 
       grandparents. To find out why, Malcolm Harris, himself a 
       Millennial, decided to conduct a meticulous, data driven 
       analysis of the cultural, technological, and (especially) 
       economic forces over the past 40 years that have shaped 
       Millennial lives. What he discovered, and the sense he 
       made of it, will change how you see yourself, your country,
       and our future - whether you're a Millennial or not. 
       Examining broad trends like the professionalization of 
       childhood, runaway student debt, the rise of the intern, 
       mass incarceration, social media, and more, Kids These 
       Days charts the rise of an American ethos so normalized 
       that we forget to notice it: the treatment of children as 
       investments, and he dares us to confront the consequences 
       when those children grow up. Gripping, mercilessly argued,
       and deeply informed, Kids These Days is essential reading,
       not only for Millennials but for anyone ready to take a 
       hard look at how we got here and where we're headed if we 
       don't change course fast"--|cProvided by publisher.
