Description
The family, which at one time was the source of comfort and a haven from the world, is now an endangered species. It has been invaded by a market-driven society deprived of the family's intimacy and wisdom creating a relationship and duty-for-hire type of existence. Everything is in the marketplace, wedding planners, nameologist who help you to name your child, hired mourners, dating services, goal setters and even grannies. The author reveals a world in which the most intuitive and emotional of human acts are available for the right price, leaving overstressed, outsourcing Americans who while attempting to simplify life are creating a market-driven society with its ensuing consequences.
