Desolation's March: The Rise of Personalism and the Reign of Amusement in 21st Century America

by Stephen Paul Foster

A critique of American decadence and moral squalor. Foster argues that three basic cultural phenomena have intertwined in the national psyche - the impact of personalism and the leveraged individual, the growth of the therapeutic state, and the overwhelming preoccupation with entertainment - leaving America in a moral and cultural quandry.
