Paperback. Condizione: Good. A New York Times Business Book Bestseller "Shrewd and optimistic. . . . The Good Life and Its Discontents combines first-rate analysis with persuasive historical, political and sociological insights."-The New Republic Today Americans are wealthier, healthier, and live longer than at any previous time in our history. As a society, we have never had it so good. Yet, paradoxically, many of us have never felt so bad. For, as Robert J. Samuelson observes in this visionary book, our country suffers from a national sense of entitlement-a feeling that someone, whether Big Business or Big Government, should guarantee us secure jobs, rising living standards, social harmony, and personal fulfillment. In The Good Life and Its Discontents, Samuelson, a national columnist for Newsweek and the Washington Post, links our rising expectations with our belief in a post-Cold War vision of an American utopia. Using history, economics, and psychology, he exposes the hubris of economists and corporate managers and indicts a government that promises too much to too many constituencies. Like David Reisman's The Lonely Crowd and John Kenneth Galbraith's The Affluent Society, the result is a book that defines its time-and that is sure to shape the national debate for years to come. "A smart, balanced epitaph for an era-with a few clues for what's ahead."-Business Week "Lucid and nonsectarian . . . Samuelson traces how the reasonable demand for progress has given way to the excessive demand for perfection."-The New York Times.…
