Ebook Download | The High Price of Materialism | While at first the book seems to retrace the steps of Juliet B. Schor’s The Overspent American and other recent titles that analyze why many Americans feel driven and unhappy despite success, Kasser goes beyond this, showing how materialistic values shape an individual’s orientation toward friends, family, work, death and “internal satisfactions.” Of great interest are the studies demonstrating that children of divorce and people with “less nurturing” mothers are more likely to hold strong materialistic values (though some readers may protest that children of divorce simply feel more economically vulnerable than their peers). Drawing on sources as diverse as dream analysis and game theory, Kasser powerfully argues that when we as individuals or as a nation feel more vulnerable, we exhibit more sharply defined materialistic tendencies a theme particularly resonant in this era of terrorist threats, personal debts and corporate scandals.
