Born between 1980 and 2000, the millennial generation dwarfs
even the baby-boom generation in numbers and is already
fundamentally remaking American politics, culture, and
business.Millennials are widely credited with handing Barack Obama a
second term as president, with being socially tolerant and
skeptical of government invasions of privacy and personal freedoms,
and creating world-changing companies such as Facebook.Millennials also display an admirable independent streak, with
fully one-third refusing to identify as either Democrat or
Republican. They are the politically unclaimed generation and how
they define their relationship to power will define the next 50
years or more of American life.The October issue of Reason is devoted to millennials and
features articles discussing the rise of “the Hipster Capitalist,”
the increasingly desperate scramble among parties for the youth
vote, the millennial fondness for dystopian fiction and movies such
as The Hunger Games and Divergent, and the new language of politics
spoken by today’s post-partisan youth. This special issue of Reason
follows the release of this summer’s Reason-Rupe Poll of
millennials that was widely discussed in The New York Times
Magazine, The Washington Post, and elsewhere.You’re invited to join Reason.com’s Nick Gillespie and Reason
Foundation Polling Director Emily Ekins for a fast-paced,
wide-ranging discussion about millennials, what they believe, and
how libertarians interested in promoting “free minds and free
markets” might best with today’s younger generation.Light snacks, beer, wine, and soft drinks will be served.
