About the book

In this book James Collier asks how did America get from a sociable code to which self-restraint was a cardinal virtue to one in which self gratitude is a central idea and normal. A vibrant, sweeping analysis of the roots of American self-indulgence. This ringing, provocative jeremiad cuts a path through a haze of self-indulgent thought and action in the me first society.
