The impulse society : America in the age of instant gratification / Paul Roberts. by Roberts, Paul, 1961 Aug. 2- Bloomsbury, 2014. Call #: 306.30973 R646i Subjects United States -- Economic conditions -- 21st century   United States -- Social conditions -- 21st century.   United States -- Civilization -- 21st century ISBN:  9781608198146 (hc.) 1608198146 (hc.) Edition:  First U.S. edition. Description:  x, 308 pages ; 25 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages [269]-298) and index. Summary:  Drawing on the fields of economics, psychology, history and political philosophy, Roberts shows how we have become so obsessed with "maximizing returns" that we embrace virtually any means--any technology, personal tactic, or corporate strategy--that can deliver, regardless of consequences. Roberts lays out the history and geography of this new social order and charts a clear pathway toward a different and brighter future.
