don't forget you have in the USA a culture that is outside the modern living. The Amish.

I found a very very interesting blog, with great reviews of the book as well, at http://humblemusings.com/archives/2006/12/07/thoughts-on-henry-and-the-great-society/

"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."
