reviewed The Challenge of Affluence: Self-Control and Well-Being in the United States and Britain Since 1950 on May 15, 2012 The Challenge of Affluence: Self-Control and Well-Being in the United States and Britain Since 1950
Remarkable book, It is thoroughly writen, really properly footnoted with remarkable wealth of scholarship being present at every page.
Thematicly I was mostly reminded of Erich Fromm having acquired a full knowledge of current days modern economics and writing a follow up to To have or to be on 400 pages not referring to buddha and epicurus, but to Friedman, Thatcher and Henry Ford.
Loved every page of it, must read, but not just a quick whizz in an afternoon.
