Prospect Weekend Reads
Week of August 29th
Stories from the week you don't want to miss!

Harvard's Memorial Church is seen on March 13, 2016.
Besiege the Ivy League
: We can have a
better higher-education system, or we can have schools that cater to the
elite and privileged, but we can't have both. Read Jane Chung on why
it's time to dismantle the outsized power and prestige of the Ivy
League.
Discount America : The
explosion of dollar stores reveals a long-standing truth: There are
really only two types of customers in America, the elite and the
desperate. David Dayen wrote about how corporations are reorienting
their business models to profit off of those who have fallen out of the
middle class.
Bannon in Custody
:
Robert Kuttner has a long and odd history with Steve Bannon, who turned
himself in to the authorities this week. Read his accounting of the time
he got Bannon fired from the White House.
Bad Bunny, AOC, and Decolonizing Puerto Rico
:
Who will ultimately get to decide the future of Puerto Rico? Will it be
Washington's elite, or the movement for decolonization in the streets?
Pedro Cabán has the story.
Generation Union : Today,
the unionization efforts that may seem to have sprung out of nowhere are
dominated by young workers. As Harold Meyerson argues, we have
millennials and Gen Z to thank for the new resurgence of the labor
movement.
