Respond to someone who is criticizing a comparison made by Caplan between Toni Morrison and millennial activists.
Ridiculous.  And this is a grown man writing.  Toni Morrison and most of the other "well known artists" are multi-millionaires, among the 1%, the main beneficiaries of capitalism.  The dirty 1930s saw desperate men hopping on trains trying to find work and were chronicled in works of art like The Grapes of Wrath - zero parallel with the lifestyle enjoyed by today's "activists".  Caplan is not a millennial, he would have learned the history of that time so he should know better.
