For many, the 1970s evoke the Brady Bunch and the birth of disco.
In this first, thematic popular history of the decade, David Frum
argues that it was the 1970s, not the 1960s, that created modern
America and altered the American personality forever. A society
that had valued faith, self-reliance, self-sacrifice, and family
loyalty evolved in little more than a decade into one characterized
by superstition, self-interest, narcissism, and guilt. Frum
examines this metamorphosis through the rise to cultural dominance
of faddish psychology, astrology, drugs, religious cults, and
consumer debt, and profiles such prominent players of the decade as
Werner Erhard, Alex Comfort, and Jerry Brown. How We Got Here is
lively and provocative reading.
