Gen Z is often dismissed as apathetic. But interviews with leading scholars suggest otherwise: a generation coming of age amid crises in housing, work, and political institutions is not losing faith in politics but in the promises of capitalism.
The problem was when Obama let us down then, too many people walked away thinking that somehow getting less involved in politics would somehow fix things.
