Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The evolution of self-interest in the United States is examined, highlighting a shift from communal benefit to individualism. Initially rooted in Alexis de Tocqueville's idea of "self-interest well-understood," contemporary notions often prioritize personal gain over community welfare. This transformation is documented through an analysis of presidential speeches, television sitcoms, and popular music. The book ultimately discusses the detrimental effects of this individualism on democracy, illustrating how a narrow focus can undermine collective well-being and political engagement.
