rather than pile on the individual traits in this -- I tend to agree this is happening in America -- perhaps the constructive analysis is to notice what is missing.. that is, social context, responsibilities over time outside of personal goals, lineage and continuity, tradition, even acknowledging greater forces in life than one's self at all..

economics is part of this, but we have plenty of economic activity and yet alot of dismal outcomes.. so economics does not explain all of it
