In this deliciously radical episode, Dr. Van Jackson sits down with Malcolm Harris, author of Kids These Days: The Making of Millennials, and the forthcoming Palo Alto: A History of California, Capitalism, and the World.  Malcolm explains how political economy made Millennials, what's wrong with thinking of yourself as human capital, the crisis of student debt, and how he moved from anti-war protests to the Occupy Movement.  Malcolm also makes the case the Millennials will either be the first genuine to push American oligarchy off its ledge, or the first generation of true American fascists. Van and Malcolm also talk leftist strategy and revolution.Readings Mentioned During the Episode:Malcolm Harris, Kids These Days: The Making of MillennialsMalcolm Harris, Palo Alto: A History of California, Capitalism, and the WorldMalcolm Harris, "Bad Education," N+1 magazineHarry Braverman, Labor and Monopoly CapitalPaul Adler, "The Future of Critical Management Studies"Erik Olin-Wright, Envisioning Real UtopiasMelinda Cooper, Family Values: Between Neoliberalism and the New Social ConservativsmBarbara Ehrenreich and John Ehrenreich, "Death of a Yuppie Dream"On Monopoly-Finance Capital: https://monthlyreview.org/2006/12/01/monopoly-finance-capital/
