Publisher's Note The American dream is in serious danger, according to professor Wuthnow--not because of economic conditions, but because its moral underpinnings have been forgotten. Here Wuthnow examines the struggles in which American families are now engaged as they try to balance work and family, confront the pressures of consumerism, and find meaning in their careers.
Industry Reviews "Based on prodigious research and mastery of sources, Robert Wurthnow elucidates the ways in which our ostensibly self-interested economic lives are in fact pervaded by economic ends. His book underlies the confusions of our materialistic culture, and provides some guidance in moving beyond it." advertisement - Francis Fukuyama
"Contributes significantly to our understanding of the major disjunctions of contemporary social life." Publisher's catalogue - Robert Jackall
