Excerpt from Business Ethics Today Book By Chuck Colson:
“If you look at the bestsellers of the 1970s they are very revealing: Winning Through Intimidation, Looking Out for Number One, and I’m Okay, You’re Okay. Each of these were saying, “Don’t worry about us.” We emerged into a decade that Tom Wolfe, the social critic, called “the decade of Me.” Very logically that graduated into the 1980’s and what some have cynically called “the golden age of greed.”
Sociologist Robert Bellah wrote a book titled Habits of the Heart-a phrase he borrowed from Tocqueville’s classic work on American life. Bellah examined the values of several hundred average, middle-class Americans. He came to the conclusion that the reigning ethos in American life in the eighties was what he called “ontological individualism,” a radical individualism where the individual is supreme and autonomous and lives for himself or herself. He found that Americans had two overriding goals: vivid personal feelings and personal success.”
This was taken from a chapter, entitled “Why Good People Do Bad Things” from the book Business Ethics Today Conference Papers: Adding a Christian Worldview as Found in the Westminster Confession of Faith.
