The decline of American capitalism Book

So Daniel Bell gets some things right -- the hippies were by and large self-righteous children who cared far more about individual pleasure than building a new society, that radical individualism can get very, very cozy with late-stage capitalism, and that capitalism undermines the work ethic it benefited from. But let's face it, a lot of the time Bell demands a "unifying culture," and lambasts modern society, he just comes off as a left-wing Allan Bloom. He's a fine writer, but so, so many of his arguments are largely ungrounded and rather silly in hindsight.
