"Money can't buy happiness" is an age-old truth, but as Philip Slater shows, few of us really believe it. In fact, our addiction to money is a national malaise that not only impoverishes our individual lives but also has brought our nation to the economic crisis we face today. Fortunately, our addiction to money is curable.

Philip Slater's insightful examinations of contemporary culture have challenges and entertained readers for more than 20 years.
