On Paradise Drive - How We Live Now (And Always Have) In The Future Tense

On Paradise Drive is just as funny and perceptive." -- The Wall Street Journal Informationen zum Autor David Brooks Klappentext Americans are the inheritors of a sense of limitless possibilities raised to think in the future tense. The author takes a serious and comic look at this future-mindedness that shapes personalities and underlies beliefs. Zusammenfassung The author of BOBOS IN PARADISE, which hilariously described the upscale American culture, now takes a witty look at the middle-class mentality that makes America the most manic and discombobulating of nations.
