Life and work

Harris is an editor at the online magazine The New Inquiry.[3] He lives in Philadelphia.

He was "heavily involved" in the Occupy Wall Street movement.[4] In 2012 a court case concerning his disorderly conduct at an October 2011 Occupy protest on the Brooklyn Bridge became "a significant focus of attention for its involvement of posts to social networking sites and legal arguments over who controls that material."[5][6][7][8]

Harris's book, Kids These Days: the Making of Millennials (2017), is a social critique of American millennials as human capital.[9][10][11][12] In it he explores the economic, social, and political conditions and institutions that nurtured American millennials and shaped them into a distinct group.[2][13] Yohann Koshy wrote in the Financial Times that Harris argues that "society conspires to make life worse for young people", that "millennials are producing lots of value at work that is not reflected in job quality or wages", and that much of this applies to Britain too.[2]
