Book Overview
The American Dream champions individualism. But at what price? In this timely revision of "The Wilding of America," Charles Derber chronicles the latest incidents of "wilding" - extreme acts of self-interested violence and greed - that signal an eroding of the moral landscape of American society. Despite this ever-increasing emphasis on individualism in America, Derber offers a communitarian alternative that is as inspiring as it is instructive."

I found out about this book in my sociology class. My teacher gave us a xeroxed chapter to read about how every man for himself. It is so true.. Our society is very "wild" and we need to pay attention to what Mr. Derber has to say. This is from the man in the street up to the corporate, and even to the country's executive level that controls our laws. I am also reading Derber's book "In pursuit of Attention". His books are easy to read and offer much insight to what our society has become. The main point of his book is.. we need to pay attention, discover who we really are, and learn how to survive in a world that really does not play by our own rules. And understand, we need to do something about the animals that manifest our society. Read it yourself.. you will be enlightened as to what really is happening...
