This book traces the movement from mutualism to individualism in
the context of American family life. Throughout American history,
families survived or even flourished during colonization, the
Revolution, slavery, the industrial revolution, immigration, and
economic upheaval because reliance on others was patently
necessary. But in the past century, unprecedented prosperity both
freed Americans from mutual dependence and created a culture
devoted to the pursuit of pleasure and individual fulfilment. This
shift from obligation to freedom has turned the maintenance of
durable, rewarding families into a countercultural act, one that
requires a conscious decision to qualify the American commitment to
freedom.
