商品簡介
This final book by social scientist Rothman (1927-2011) is a summary and culmination of his four decades of research and thinking ranging through history, psychology, and political science. He saw the American experiment endangered by an unprecedented alienation of social and cultural elites and an elite-generated culture of narcissism hostile to America's founding virtues. It started with the intellectual class, he argues, then spread to other cultural elite groups that looked to the intellectual class as their reference group, and increasingly to society as a whole, threatening the Calvinist heritage at the root of American exceptionalism.
