The Story of a Generation in Seven Scams - Part 1

A provocative and controversial essay which argues that scamming is the ‘definitive millennial ethos’. Jia argues that in the past ten years scamming - the abuse of trust for profit - has become ‘simply the way things were going to be’. And she identifies what she believes are seven modern types of scam: The Financial Crash, The Student Debt Disaster, The Social Media Scam, The Girlbosses, The Really Obvious Ones, The Disruptors and the most recent US election.
