The year was 1984, "The Year of the Yuppie," according to Newsweek magazine. Yuppies may have been a classic 1980s stereotype, but they were also a very real demographic as revealed in this month's episode featuring our very own Dylan Gottlieb. Gottlieb explains how hundreds of thousands of highly-educated, young, urban professionals flocked to New York and other cities during the 1980s, transforming the US economy in the process. Yuppies, Gottlieb argues, were the footsoldiers of late twentieth-century financialization, writing the legal briefs and crunching the numbers for the corporate takeovers that fueled Wall Street's rise and the growing inequality that accompanied it. They were also some of financialization's primary beneficiaries. As other Americans saw their wages stagnate and opportunities dwindle, yuppies—and the high salaries they earned—stood out as a lone bright spot in the broader downward 1980s economy, attracting attention from retailers, developers, city officials, and national politicians. 

Everyone knows Jeffrey Epstein as a sex trafficker who died in 2019. But Epstein's story goes further back than most people realize — and includes surprising links to the Iran-Contra scandal of the 1980s. Today on Lever Time, producer Natalie Bettendorf speaks with Drop Site News journalist Murtaza Hussain about his investigation into Epstein's ties to Iran-Contra and how Epstein built his wealth and connections in the shadows of public power.  Listen to “President Rambo,” our episode of Master Plan about the Iran-Contra scandal.

 The 1980s brought us the young upstarts known as the Yuppies and you may be living their lifestyle today. Dylan Gottlieb is historian at Bentley University and co-host of Who Makes Cents: A History of Capitalism Podcast and author of “Yuppies: The Bankers, Lawyers, Joggers, and Gourmands Who Conquered New York.” He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the social and political changes Yuppies brought to not just urban settings, but throughout the country, why “self-optimization” is just a byproduct of their high-wage, long-hours lifestyles, and why their success came at the cost of equality. His companion article in The New York Times is “How Yuppies Changed America. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

“We need to develop better theories of why the other side believes what they do. Having an accurate theory includes recognizing if somebody is a psychopath — but also recognizing that psychopaths are rarer than we think.” — Audun Dahl If you're not a liberal at twenty, you have no heart; if you're not a conservative at forty, you have no head. While this sounds like an annoying cliché (especially to people under forty), it does recognize that our moral views change. But, as the Cornell psychologist Audun Dahl argues in his new book Between Fixed and Fickle: Why Our Moral Views Keep Changing, the most interesting question is why our moral principles always seem in flux. Why people who say cheating is wrong cheat. Why people who say violence is wrong turn a blind moral eye to their own insurrections. Dahl is a psychologist, not a moralist. He is not interested in what we should believe, but in what we think we believe. His central finding is that human morality is neither fixed nor fickle. People change their moral views when they believe they have good reasons to — reasons they can, indeed, articulate. The problem isn't hypocrisy per se. It's that we struggle to understand why the other side believes what it does. In morally polarised societies like contemporary America, we over-attribute psychopathy to political opponents. Most Republicans and most Democrats do have genuine moral commitments. But they are just different principles, applied to parallel moral hierarchies. Rather than morality perhaps, we need more empathy. Don't judge. Understand. Five Takeaways •       Two Kinds of Moral Change: Dahl identifies two forms of moral change that should trouble us. Situational moral change: people espouse one principle and act against it in a specific situation — the person who says cheating is wrong and cheats on an exam, the January 6th rioter who says violence is wrong. Historical moral change: the same principles coexisting with practices that contradict them — Thomas Jefferson proclaiming inalienable rights while enslaving hundreds. Both are not simply hypocrisy: they reflect the genuine messiness of moral life, where competing principles create constant conflict. •       Morality Emerges in the First Three Years of Life: Dahl's most striking empirical finding: by around age three, virtually all children develop an intrinsic concern with how we ought to treat other sentient beings. It is not taught as an external rule. It emerges. A three-year-old will say: it's wrong to harm others, you shouldn't steal. No other animal acquires this. It is a uniquely human characteristic. The question is not whether people have moral commitments — almost everyone does. The question is how those commitments interact with other concerns, pressures, and competing principles. •       We Over-Attribute Psychopathy to the Other Side: One of the most robustly documented findings in political psychology: Republicans and Democrats don't merely think the other side is wrong. They think the other side is evil — likely to condone things they would never condone. Research shows both sides significantly over-estimate the other's extremism and moral depravity. Dahl's prescription: develop better theories of why the other side believes what it does. An accurate theory includes recognising genuine psychopaths and bad actors when they exist. It also includes recognising that they are rarer than we think. •       Jefferson, Epstein, and the Exceptions: Two historical anchors. Jefferson: the author of the Declaration of Independence's inalienable rights, who enslaved hundreds. The question is not whether he was a hypocrite — he clearly was — but how someone could hold both positions simultaneously. The answer Dahl finds most compelling: conflicting moral principles applied with different weights in different contexts, not the absence of moral concern. Epstein: the opposite case, a man who concealed an absence of moral concern behind a veneer of respectability. The lesson: some people genuinely lack it, but they are exceptions. •       Elbow Room: The Hilary Mantel Closer: Dahl's two wishes for a more moral world. First: that we understand why the other side disagrees. Second: that we have more “elbow room” — the phrase from Hilary Mantel's Cromwell trilogy — to make decisions based on what we actually think is right rather than what we need to do to survive. Machiavelli and Cromwell operated in a world where survival left almost no room for principled action. If that is becoming our world again, the prospects for moral progress are bleak. Dahl is cautiously hopeful. The creative, restless energy of each new generation — willing to say this is unjust, this is unfair — is what abolished slavery. It is what drives moral change still. About the Guest Audun Dahl is Associate Professor of Psychology at Cornell University.

“As recently as the mid-seventies, under 5% of Ivy Leaguers are headed to Wall Street. It's actually not that attractive. But as Wall Street's deregulated, it changes the incentive structure — it makes it much more profitable and demands this huge labor force.” — Dylan Gottlieb They stalked the sidewalks of Manhattan in button-down shirts embroidered with the names of investment banks. They jogged. They drank Beaujolais Nouveau. They gentrified neighborhoods. They were the Yuppies — and with the Boston-based Dylan Gottlieb, they've found their young urban professional biographer. In Yuppies: The Bankers, Lawyers, Joggers, and Gourmands Who Conquered New York, Gottlieb offers both a social history of financialization and a collective biography of the professional class that came of age in the Reagan years. Rather than a passing 1980s stereotype, Gottlieb argues that the Yuppie is a phenomenon that remade the American economy, city, and political class. As recently as the mid-1970s, under 5 percent of Ivy League graduates went to Wall Street. A decade of deregulation later, banks were recruiting a third of graduating classes from top universities. The sweatshop of the meritocracy was born. Most of us are still sweating. Five Takeaways •       From Yippie to Yuppie: The Word's Origins: Yuppie resonates with Yippie — the iconographic late-sixties radicals of the New Left, for whom Jerry Rubin was the signifier. The word first appeared in a Chicago alt-weekly in the late 1970s to describe highly educated young people trickling into gentrifying North Side neighbourhoods. It didn't achieve full cultural dominance until 1984, when it became the frame for supporters of Gary Hart's presidential campaign — a prototypical Yuppie candidate who stormed the Democratic primary and represented a new professional vanguard within the party. The word named something that was already happening. It didn't create it. •       The Incentive Structure Changed: Under 5% to One Third: As recently as the mid-1970s, under 5 percent of Ivy League graduates went to Wall Street. It was seen as the preserve of WASPy children who used family connections to get a bank job. By the mid-1980s, banks were recruiting roughly a third of graduating classes at top universities. What happened: deregulation made finance enormously more profitable; finance demanded a large educated labour force to do the work of putting finance at the centre of the American economy; and the most talented students — those who might have become poets or public servants — followed the money. At mid-century, the most prestigious option for a Princeton graduate was middle management at a Fortune 500 company. By 1985, it was Wall Street. •       Democratization and Distinction: The Double Movement: Gottlieb's central thesis is a double movement. The Yuppie era brought genuine diversification to America's elite: Jewish lawyers could now make partner at firms previously closed to them; women entered investment banks in numbers that would have been inconceivable in 1965; Black and Asian Americans got at least a foot in the door. This was new, and it mattered. Simultaneously, that newly diversified elite pulled further away from the rest of America, extracting profits from companies being financialized and rents from communities being gentrified. Democratization and distinction in constant tension. The elite became more diverse and more remote at the same time. •       The Pyramid to Cylinder Shift: AI is about to do to the Yuppie what the Yuppie did to everybody else. Gottlieb spoke recently to an HR representative at an investment bank — name and bank withheld — who said the firm was moving from a pyramid structure to a cylinder structure for employment. The wide base of entry-level workers that finance has depended on since the 1980s will shrink dramatically. Only the best and brightest will be selected; the rest will be automated. Gottlieb wrote about the era of the large pyramid — the exploited many at the bottom who hoped to reach the top. What happens to the professional class when that pyramid disappears? •       Are the Yuppies Becoming Socialists? A long-running trend: the pressures of the sweatshop of the meritocracy have embittered many members of the professional class. Academics work in conditions demonstrably worse than they were forty years ago. Doctors are evaluated on metrics that resemble those of factory workers. Journalists are precarious. The housing market in the cities where professionals cluster has made the cost of replicating their social status for their children prohibitive. And into this comes AI, threatening the entry-level pipeline. Gottlieb's question: will the investment bankers see their plight as similar to the Amazon warehouse worker's? Or will the edifice of meritocratic myth-making — the deep conviction that you're special — hold them back from that solidarity? About the Guest Dylan Gottlieb is Assistant Professor of History at Bentley University and co-host of the Who Makes Cents: A History of Capitalism podcast.

Dylan Gottlieb, author of the new book Yuppies, explores how that often risible but pioneering social formation took over NYC. Ervand Abrahamian looks at the politics of Iran, a country under siege. Behind the News, hosted by Doug Henwood, covers the worlds of economics and politics and their complex interactions, from the local to the global.

Manche Marken, manche Menschen und manche Communities haben einfach sofort eine besondere Ausstrahlung – und genau so ging es mir mit Heizr. Lange habe ich den Club aus der Distanz beobachtet und ihn anfangs ehrlich gesagt vor allem mit der Porsche-Welt verbunden. Cool, hochwertig, irgendwie besonders. Aber spätestens, als die ersten Heizr Events auftauchten und genau diesen Mix aus Automobilkultur, Ästhetik und Leidenschaft versprühten, war für mich klar: Das will ich mir irgendwann selbst anschauen.Dass ich dann eher durch einen Zufall tatsächlich auf einem Heizr Event gelandet bin, macht die Geschichte umso besser. Und genau dieser Zufall hat schließlich dazu geführt, dass Felix heute bei mir im Podcast sitzt.Felix ist nicht nur das Gesicht hinter Heizr, sondern vor allem der Kopf, der Visionär und der Mensch, der aus einer Idee eine Bewegung gemacht hat. Wir sprechen über die Entstehung von Heizr, über die Entwicklung vom Insider-Tipp zu einer echten Community und darüber, was moderne Fahrzeug-Events heute eigentlich ausmacht.Natürlich gehen wir auch den Klischees auf den Grund: Sind wirklich alle Porsche-Fahrer nur Yuppies? Wie viel Leidenschaft, Risiko und Durchhaltevermögen steckt hinter so einer Marke? Und wie reagiert eigentlich eine Stadtverwaltung, wenn man ein Event unter dem Namen Heizr anmelden möchte?Eine Folge über Autos, Menschen, Visionen – und darüber, wie aus einer Leidenschaft etwas Großes entstehen kann. Viel Spaß mit Felix von Heizr.

Dieser Film ging nach hinten los: Eigentlich wollte #OliverStone mit „Wall Street“ Kritik am #Kapitalismus, vor allem an den Finanzmärkten üben, die in den 1980er-Jahre boomten und die Klasse der Yuppies hervorbrachten. Doch der Regisseur hatte die Rechnung ohne seinen Protagonisten gemacht, denn eine Figur wie #GordonGekko (grandios gespielt von Michael Douglas) mag zwar moralisch zweifelhaft sein, doch gerade deshalb fasziniert sie uns. Es ist wenig verwunderlich, dass sich viele Zuschauer damals Gekko zum Vorbild nahmen. Doch das ist nicht das einzige Problem mit Stones Kapitalismuskritik, denn im Gegensatz zu seiner Hauptfigur scheint er das Wirtschaftssystem nicht richtig zu verstehen und konzentriert sich bloß auf einen Nebenkriegsschauplatz. Aber wie ist es nun mit der berühmten „Gier ist gut“-Rede, die der gefürchtete Börsenmakler auf einer Aktionärsversammlung hält? Gekko klagt die Trägheit der Vorstandsvorsitzenden an, er wettert gegen die Bürokratie innerhalb des Unternehmens und sagt außerdem, dass die USA nur noch eine zweitrangige Weltmacht ist. Hat er Recht? Und wie ist es eigentlich mit der Gier? Mehr dazu von Wolfgang M. Schmitt im Video!Literatur:David Graeber: Bullshit-Jobs. Vom wahren Sinn der Arbeit.

Diesmal bewegt Matussek vor allem das Schicksal von Thomas Gottschalk, diesem unverwüstlich fröhlichen Leuchtturm der Fernsehunterhaltung aus den besseren Tagen, sowohl des Landes wie dessen öffentlich-rechtlicher Sender. Tommy, der jetzt in der Adventszeit mit einer bösartigen aggressiven Krebserkrankung kämpft. Matussek erinnert sich an seine Tage an der Münchner Journalistenschule und Tommys Kultsendungen auf Bayern 3. Und er ruft ins Gedächtnis, wie ihm, dem Meister unüberlegter Sprüche, zugesetzt wurde von freudlosen linken Politkommissaren wie Micky Beisenherz. Des Weiteren: Die 80er-Jahre und der Wechsel von den Hippies zu den Yuppies und wie Matussek beim „Stern“ mit Hilfe eines Typenberaters vom einen Lager in das andere wechselte. Außerdem eine christliche Neudichtung des kommunistischen Kampfliedes „Brüder, zur Sonne, zur Freiheit“ und weitere Briefe, dazu Songs, die Tommy in seinen Sendungen auflegte.

New Cold Spring store honors spirit of late shopkeeper Brown letters taped to the door of Segundo Beso boutique in Cold Spring read, "Be More Doucette," a nod to Stephanie Doucette, who championed keeping industry footprints "as light as a kiss." The Spanish name of the new store, which fills a space at 65 Main St. formerly occupied by Doucette New York before Doucette died suddenly in May 2024 at age 52, translates as "second kiss" - a reference to what Doucette described as her mission to "rescue forgotten fabrics." Melinda Huff, a friend and collaborator of Doucette's, plans to maintain that mantra by saving offloaded spools of fabric marred by machinery errors and other imperfections from landfills. The store also stocks designs by other like-minded creators. "It's my personal mission to keep Stephanie's spirit alive at Segundo Beso, not just by giving new life to discarded fabric and material, but also paying forward her disarming kindness and honesty," Huff says. In a back workshop filled with tape measures, sewing machines and other accoutrements of the trade, Huff and her partners make alterations, experiment with prototypes and create custom outfits. The changing area's curtain is a canopy of sewn-together blue jeans. Seeking to broaden local relationships, she jumped at the chance to partner with the Garrison Art Center on a juried group exhibit, Urban Jungle, which includes 13 pieces, including six sculptures, displayed throughout the store. Many businesses in Beacon and Philipstown display work by local artists, but this one offers more gravitas: Last week's opening attracted a crowd that spilled onto the sidewalk and filled up the benches outside. The partnership emerged after Catherine Graham, executive director of the art center, attended a marketing workshop sponsored by the Hudson Valley Gateway Chamber of Commerce and met matchmaker Michael Dardano. "For years, I've been trying to get nonprofits and private businesses together, and this came about pretty fast," says Dardano, who runs BuzzPotential, a social media and marketing firm in Westchester. The exhibit includes items that evoke a jungle groove, like the manipulated photo "Spring Growth" by Sandra Belitza-Vasquez, and "Wandering Flowers" by Vivien Collens, a series of five sculptures that brighten a picture window. Many artistic items lean into a gritty city vibe, like the touched-up photo "Red Firebox - Bklyn" by Mitchell Brozinsky, which captures a graffitied streetscape in Greenpoint long before the Yuppies moved in. The mossy yellow grunge on the building and the gray sidewalk looks like it could be scraped off. Philipstown resident Jane Soodalter's close-up photo of rusted machinery presents the illusion of rough texture rising from the surface. A wall-mounted, mixed-media piece by Maxine Feldman suggests an urban street grid. The sculpture "Modern Ruins" by Lisa Knaus, who teaches at the Garrison Art Center, sits in a precarious location, ripe for getting knocked over or being mistaken for goods on sale. (The store carries accessories beyond clothes.) Covered with melted glass that looks like bright glaze or colorful paint, the brick and other components are attractive. Knaus makes clay objects and dislikes throwing things away. After her car windshield shattered, she found a use for the shiny pile. The work fits with the store's exposed brick decor, but for Knaus, the material contains symbolic meaning. "I'm really into bricks," she says. "For me, using the glass is a bling-like way to connect with the history of civilization." Segundo Beso, at 65 Main St. in Cold Spring, is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday to Monday. See segundobeso.com. Urban Jungle continues through July 13.

Insieme al fratello Carlo, ha dato vita al cinepanettone. Hanno fatto ridere generazioni intere e si sono dimostrati i re della commedia all'italiana, capaci di raccontare il nostro Paese nel modo più vero e autentico, con leggerezza, intelligenza e uno stile unico. Ebbene sì, Enrico Vanzina è passato dal BSMT. Sceneggiatore, produttore, scrittore. Ma prima di tutto, testimone del suo tempo. Ha scritto alcuni dei film più amati di sempre, spesso diretti dal fratello Carlo, con cui ha formato una delle coppie più prolifiche e riconoscibili del cinema italiano. Vacanze di Natale, Sapore di mare, Yuppies, Eccezziunale… veramente, Febbre da cavallo… solo per citarne alcuni: titoli che hanno scolpito un'epoca, sono diventati cult, hanno divertito, fatto riflettere e sono entrati nel nostro immaginario. E hanno portato sullo schermo l'Italia del mare, dei paninari, dei salotti bene e dei sogni borghesi. Ma anche le sue storture, le sue manie, le sue trasformazioni. A volte, addirittura, anticipandole. Al BSMT abbiamo parlato di cinema e di vita Di famiglia, dei grandi nomi della commedia all'italiana, dei successi più grandi ma anche dell'importanza dei film di cui il botteghino non si è accorto, del rapporto col fratello Carlo, delle critiche ricevute, e di cosa significa raccontare il proprio Paese film dopo film, battuta dopo battuta. Una chiacchierata autentica, leggendaria e a tratti nostalgica, piena di storie e di aneddoti incredibili. Perché Enrico Vanzina non ha solo scritto film. Ha raccontato un'epoca. E in parte, l'ha anche costruita. Buona visione! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Culture Journalist is a podcast about culture in the age of platforms. Episodes drop every other week, but if you want the full experience — including bonus episodes and our eternal parasocial friendship — we recommend signing up for a paid subscription.Paid subscribers also get access to CUJOPLEX, a private Discord server and online hangout zone where independent culture fans who like talking about things like creative economies, media theory, current events, and the future of entertainment and journalism can congregate, share links, and talk about the news of the day.Today we explore how many of the habits and customs we associate with American bourgeois life — religiously reading the Sunday Times, buying organic produce, building your entire identify around excelling at a career you love, etc. — stem from one generation in particular. Friends, we're talking about the yuppies, that notoriously status-obsessed, hyper-educated cohort of young urban professionals who came to cultural prominence in the '80s and '90s, setting off a series of transformations in our cities, media, and consumer culture that we're still witnessing to this day.It's easy to see the Boomer worldview as a reflection of the fact that they had it much easier than us Millennials, economically speaking. But a new book called Triumph of the Yuppies: America, the Eighties, and the Creation of an Unequal Nation, by Philadelphia journalist and author Tom McGrath, subtly challenges that idea, reframing the yuppie obsession with money, achievement, and unimpeachable good taste as a response to the rough economic headwinds of the 1970s and '80s. Along the way, it explores how yuppiedom was equally a reaction to suburban post-war monoculture — and perhaps most perplexingly, a kind of impossible attempt to reconcile a newfound love of capitalism with the egalitarian values of the hippie era.Tom joins us to discuss the yuppie origin story and the historical factors that rerouted a generation from protesting the Vietnam War to working on Wall Street. We get into who — and what — the yuppies were rebelling against, and how their emphasis on not just consumption, but consuming the right things, laid the blueprint for everything from urban gentrification, to contemporary food culture, to the news and television we consume.We also talk about whether or not the yuppie still exists — perhaps in the form of Millennials? — and, of course, where Trump, then and now, fits into all of this.Purchase Triumph of the Yuppies.

This week, we're live-reacting to battles across culture. It's DeepSeek vs. OpenAI, Millennials vs. Gen X, and Starbucks vs. Sharpies (Sharpies won). PLUS: The Flappy Bird effect drives an aftermarket of devices with TikTok access, yuppie culture booms, and Waymo strikes again. The Other Side of Headless CommerceKey takeaways:DeepSeek's Disruption – A powerful, cheap, open-source AI from China that is sending shockwaves through the industry, challenging Nvidia's dominance and raising economic concerns.The Death of Loss Leaders? – AI optimization could make it easier for consumers to game retail pricing, forcing businesses to rethink discounts and marketing tactics.Tech Arms Race – The U.S.-China AI competition is accelerating, with implications for policy, economy, and innovation.The Generational Cycle – Are Millennials the new Boomers? Phillip and Brian discuss how attitudes shift over time.TikTok Bans and Black Markets – The aftermarket for phones with TikTok pre-installed mirrors the Flappy Bird phenomenon.“If someone was able to optimize their life so that friction was removed, it would break the system.” – Phillip“This is ground zero of something huge. The AI game just changed overnight.” – Phillip“The best defense is to flood the zone.

På 1980-talet slog yuppien igenom svinrik, ung och besatt av dyra varor och vanor. Allt från kläder till köksutrustning skulle komma från rätt märke, för att markera att man hade både koll och cash. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. För fyrtio år sedan utropade tidningen Newsweek 1984 som ”The Year of the Yuppie”. Yuppies var 80-talets unga, urbana och uppåtsträvande människor vars rikliga och iögonfallande konsumtion kom att prägla tiden. Inte minst deras konsumtion av kläder – plagg som kan te sig ganska gräsliga idag. Eller i alla fall långt ifrån någon quiet luxury. Det var herrkostymer med komiska proportioner, randiga skjortor, prickiga slipsar och breda hängslen; karamellfärgade tröjor med applikationer och axelvaddar, aftonklänningar med smockade liv och stora puffärmar.Allt som konsumerades skulle vara att rätt märke. Och rätt, under den här tiden, var nästan också alltid detsamma som dyrt. Det var också ofta nytt. Det gällde att hänga med i det senaste modet, gå på den senaste restaurangen, och bli medlem på det senaste gymmet.Det dröjde inte så länge innan yuppies började betraktas som lite löjeväckande. Det som retade upp folk hade en hel del med just konsumtionen att göra. Att yuppies verkade bry sig mer om märket, än innehållet. Och att de gärna betalade extra för just märket, utan att blinka.I veckans program pratar vi med journalisten Tom McGrath, som skrivit boken Triumph of the Yuppie. Bo-Anders Adamsson berättar om när han i slutet av 1980-talet skrev in sig som yuppie i telefonkatalogen. Ted Erenius, som går på Enskilda gymnasiet, och Andreas Cervenka, ekonomijournalist, diskuterar 2020-talets rikemansstil: grisch.Veckans gäst är kulturskribenten Annina Rabe, som berättar om hur matkulturen utvecklades under yuppie-eran.

On September 22, 1982, a new show debuted on NBC. It felt like a throwback to the family sitcoms of yesteryear, but, at the same time, felt like a big risk... The early 1980s seemed to be a time when the family sitcom had disappeared. Primetime TV at the time was all about dramas, and the popular sitcoms were shows like M.A.S.H and Three's Company. The new NBC show came out to little fanfare and barely had an audience in its first season. It was the same thing for the second season. But in the third season, things were about to explode... Thanks to a renewed interest in family sitcoms--not to mention its young breakout star from Canada--primetime network TV was about to change forever. Full House, Growing Pains, Who's the Boss, Perfect Strangers, Family Matters, Home Improvement--they might not have ever happened if it wasn't for this show...

Yuppies, successful and affluent young urban professionals, were a notable demographic in 1980s America. Newsweek declared 1984 the year of the yuppie, and these types of characters were immortalised in fiction through American Psycho. But, what were the real world Patrick Batemans actually like – and how did they shape the politics of the America we see today? And how do they tie in with Trump.

Welcome to Bri Books! From sexy fiction to fascinating history, here's a look at what I'm reading in 2024. For a book lover, the new year is the definition of a blank slate. The books of 2024 offer escapes of all kinds. Below, I'vm nominating 8 books I can't wait to read in January and February. In this episode, I'm rounding up 8 titles I can't wait to read. 1:05: ‘From Slave Cabins to the White House: Homemade Citizenship in African American Culture' by Koritha Mitchell. I'm a cottagecore princess, and I wanted to get to the roots of domesticity in the US. In high school I was obsessed with domestic/ Victorian values during the Industrial Revolution, and noticed the glaring absence of free Black American women from this history. But that doesn't mean we weren't there. In the book, Koritha Mitchell analyzes canonical texts by and about African American women to lay bare the hostility these women face as they invest in traditional domesticity. Tracing how African Americans define and redefine success in a nation determined to deprive them of it, Mitchell plumbs the works of Frances Harper, Zora Neale Hurston, Lorraine Hansberry, Toni Morrison, Michelle Obama, and others. These artists honor black homes from slavery and post-emancipation through the Civil Rights era to "post-racial" America. Mitchell follows black families asserting their citizenship in domestic settings while the larger society and culture marginalize and attack them, not because they are deviants or failures but because they meet American standards. ‘From Slave Cabins to the White House' illuminates the links between African American women's homemaking and citizenship in history and across literature. 4:15: ‘The Temp Economy: From Kelly Girls to Permatemps in Postwar America' by Erin Hatton. Everyone knows that work in America is not what it used to be. Layoffs, outsourcing, contingent work, disappearing career ladders—these are the new workplace realities for an increasing number of people. But why? In ‘The Temp Economy,' Erin Hatton takes one of the best-known icons of the new economy—the temp industry—and finds that it is more than just a symbol of this degradation of work. Succinct, highly readable, and drawn from a vast historical record of industry documents, ‘The Temp Economy' is a one-stop resource for anyone interested in the temp industry or the degradation of work in postwar America. 6:50: ‘New York, New York, New York: Four Decades of Success, Excess, and Transformation' by Thomas Dyja. A lively, immersive history by an award-winning urbanist of New York City's transformation, and the lessons it offers for the city's future. Dyja's sweeping account of this metamorphosis shows it wasn't the work of a single policy, mastermind, or economic theory, nor was it a morality tale of gentrification or crime. Instead, three New Yorks evolved. Dyja weaves New Yorkers famous, infamous, and unknown—Yuppies, hipsters, tech nerds, and artists; community organizers and the immigrants who made this a truly global place—into a narrative of a city creating ways of life that would ultimately change cities everywhere. 9:12: ‘Fashion Killa: How Hip-Hop Revolutionized High Fashion' by music journalist Sowmya Krishnamurthy was released in October of 2023. A cinematic narrative of glamour, grit, luxury, and luck, ‘Fashion Killa' draws on exclusive interviews with the leaders of the fashion world to tell the story of the hip-hop artists, designers, stylists, and unsung heroes who fought the power and reinvented style around the world over the last fifty years. In the book, Krishnamurthy explores the connections between the DIY hip-hop scene and the exclusive upper-echelons of high fashion. She discusses the sociopolitical forces that defined fashion and tracks the influence of music and streetwear on the most exclusive (and exclusionary) luxury brands. At the intersection of cultural commentary and oral history, ‘Fashion Killa' commemorates the contributions of hip-hop to music, fashion, and our culture at large. 11:10: ‘Prayer and Our Bodies' by Flora Slosson Wuellner. Written in 1987, this book explores the very real relationship that exists between the bodily self and the spiritual self. Readers will heighten their awareness of the interactions among body, mind, and spirit. If you're someone who struggles to appreciate your body, this book is an important touchstone toward healing our relationships with ourselves and others. It talks about how prayer isn't just what we say, but how we live our lives. Flora Slosson Wuellner, a retired ordained minister of the United Church of Christ, is well known throughout the United States and Europe for her writings and retreat leadership that focus on the inner healing that God freely offers through Christ. She has written 14 books on inner healing and renewal. 12:36: ‘You Learn By Living: Eleven Keys for a More Fulfilling Life' by Eleanor Roosevelt. This wise and intimate book on how to get the most of out life was gifted to me by a lovely friend named Carrie. At the age of seventy-six, Roosevelt penned this simple guide to living a fuller life—a powerful volume of enduring commonsense ideas and heartfelt values. Offering her own philosophy on living, she takes readers on a path to compassion, confidence, maturity, civic stewardship, and more. 14:30: ‘The Pillow Book' by Sei Shonagon. Written by 10th century court gentlewoman Sei Shonagon, ostensibly for her own amusement, ‘The Pillow Book' offers a fascinating exploration of life among the nobility at the height of the Heian period, describing the exquisite pleasures of a confined world in which poetry, love, fashion, and whim dominated, while harsh reality was kept firmly at a distance. Moving elegantly across a wide range of themes including nature, society, and her own flirtations, Sei Shonagon provides a witty and intimate window on a woman's life at court in classical Japan. 16:30: ‘Homebodies' by Tembe Denton-Hurst is already a fantastic read. An insightful, propulsive, and deeply sexy debut novel about a young Black writer whose world is turned upside down when she loses her coveted job in media and pens a searing manifesto about racism in the industry. A meditation on identity, self-worth and the toll of corporate racism, Homebodies is a portrait of modern Black womanhood with a protagonist you won't soon forget.

It is said that the influence on the 1980s on subsequent decades - even now - is stronger than any other in cultural history. All we know is, because we're at Ronald Reagan and he was kind of big in the 80s, we talked a LOT about a bunch of those influences - and we thought it was interesting and fun, so we packaged them here in this bonus episode (and even include a bonus sketch at the end going out to our Chicago homies).

How did British society become financialised? In Are We Rich Yet? The Rise of Mass Investment Culture in Contemporary Britain (U California Press, 2022), Dr Amy Edwards, a senior lecturer in the Department of History at the University of Bristol, analyses the cultural, social, and economic history of the 1980s to understand how British society became a nation of investors. The book ranges from well-known examples, such as Yuppies and privatisation of national utilities, through to everyday examples of share shops and investment clubs. Linking the analysis to broader trends in British and in financial history, alongside issues of class and gender, the book is essential reading across the humanities and social sciences, as well as for anyone interested in why money is so important to contemporary life.

If you were a kid in the 80s, you were probably blissfully unaware of what was happening with the tumultuous economy. But this crazy financial world created the 80s as we know it. This is really a story in three parts: It starts low, soars to dizzying heights, only to come crashing back down. It was the time of Reaganomics, recession, deficits, vast wealth, and one of the darkest days in the history of Wall Street. The economy of the 1980s gave us things like the Yuppie, Strawberry Shortcake, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, G.I. Joe, and many of the defining images of the decade.
