I found a very very interesting blog, with great reviews of the book as well,
at

"Briefly, Henry and the Great Society is the story of Henry, a man living in
a cultural cul-de-sac, who was pursuing a way of life that was perhaps a
hundred years behind the times, when modern living suddenly becomes a
possibility. Henry himself is not much attracted to modern living, but his
wife and children are, and he naturally wants them to have the best—the “good
things in life,” as he puts it. A series of seemingly inconsequential
decisions, each one apparently beneficial in itself, inexorably destroys the
self-sufficient, productive, peaceful, and satisfied Henry, transforming him
into a thoroughly modern man—dependent, debt-ridden, unhealthy, overworked,
worried. Henry’s family is destroyed as his wife and children find lives to
live outside the home."


Henry & the Great Society is available in a printable pdf file on this page:
