Imperialist, competitive societies are always scrambling for new ways to make profiteering cheaper. Owners spend untold fistfuls of cash to invent the cheapest production scheme they possibly can. Owners call this "efficiency" and say it is good. On the other hand, paying your employees zero money and threatening them with death if they disagree is probably the most profitable economic system owners have ever invented. The masses call this "slavery" and say it is bad. Who can really say which side is right? Oh yeah, us! It's chapter 6 of Kids These Days!

The next episode will be the last episode reading Kids These Days! That means it's new book reveal time! Our second reading for the pod will be "The Utes Must Go!" American Expansion and the Removal of a People, by Peter Decker. This book details the story of indigenous removal in Colorado and all the attendant genocidal, anticommunist handwringing of 1880's America. I can't find this book from the publisher anymore, so here's a buy link for Abebooks and Amazon. I found my copy in a box of free books outside a bookstore at the mall five years ago. So you could try that too.

Our book is Kids These Days: Human Capital and the Making of Millennials by Malcolm Harris. Pick up a copy from the publisher ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and read along with the pod!
