For Americans entering the twenty-first century, it is the best of times and the worst of times. Material wealth is at record levels, yet disturbing social problems reflect a deep spiritual poverty. In this compelling book, well-known social psychologist David G. Myers asks how this paradox has come to be and, more important, how we can spark social renewal and dream a new American dream. Myers explores the research on social ills from the 1960's through the 1990's and concludes that the materialism and radical individualism of this period have cost us dearly, imperiling our children, corroding general civility, and diminishing our happiness. However, in the voices of public figures and ordinary citizens he now hears a spirit of optimism. The national dialogue is shifting-away from the expansion of personal rights and toward enhancement of communal civility, away from efforts to raise self-esteem and toward attempts to arouse social responsibility, away from "whose values?" and toward "our values." Myers analyzes in detail the research on educational and other programs that deal with social problems, explaining which seem to work and why. He then offers positive and well-reasoned advice, suggesting that a renewed social ecology for America will rest on policies that balance "me thinking" with "we thinking."

" En se proposant de décrire "l'homme psychologique de notre temps" - avec sa peur de vieillir et son immaturité si caractéristique -, cet essai ne donne pas seulement à comprendre les tourments et les contradictions de la vie quotidienne, mais aussi - et surtout - les conditions politiques et culturelles qui en commandent le sens. A savoir, la montée en puissance - et en visibilité médiatique - de ces nouvelles catégories sociales, qui sont liées à la modernisation du capitalisme et dont la fausse conscience libérale-libertaire a fini par devenir l'esprit du temps. Cet ouvrage de Lasch jette une lumière décisive sur le paradoxe politique le plus étonnant de ces trente dernières années : l'extension à toutes les sphères de la société - à commencer par les médias - d'un esprit de contestation permanente des "valeurs bourgeoises" dont chaque brillante intuition se révèle invariablement n'avoir été que la simple bande-annonce des figures suivantes de l'esprit capitaliste.
