Youth Also is Doomed
Krutch, Joseph Wood | May 4, 1932 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "The Doom of Youth," by Wyndham Lewis. The book is a minor work of Lewis and its interpretation of the "youth movement" is characteristically ingenious. He states what passes today for the liberation of youth is really only the result of a technique of enslavement. Even graybeards are proclaiming the necessity for putting "youth at the helm," and Italy as well as Russia and Germany is looking to young men. But the economic mind has at last discovered that youth is also the period during which energetic labor is sold at a cheap price. Young men, like women and Negroes, do not have to be paid as much as mature white men who have families.
