Note: Index

This book deals with the debasement of democracy and the quality of life itself in an advanced consumer society where managerialism, manipulation, and the therapeutic mentality replaces old fashioned inner-directedness and naked authoritarianism. Faced with an escalating arms race, rising crime and terrorism, environmental deterioration, and long-term economic decline, people have retreated from commitments that presuppose a secure and orderly world. The author argues that self-concern, so characteristic of our time, has become a search for psychic survival.
