Vance Packard, April 16, 1961
“America is in danger of becoming a nation of happiness seekers building a fun culture. We are spending three times more on chewing gum that on medical research, and more on jewelry than on basic research.”
“Problems confronting Americans are not primarily economic but rather problems involving our total well being and with roots in the spiritual aspects.”
“Americans need to develop more deeply felt personal standards of good and evil, success and failure- not for other people but for themselves.”
