Bright, clean, square, tight, and unmarked. Sharp corners. "First Edition" is so stated, with complete number row (10 987654321) on the copyright page. Illustrated with a few photos. Chapter notes. Index. From the Dust Jacket: "Frum argues that it was the supposedly quiescent 1970s that created modern America and altered the American personality forever. The decade left behind a country that was less self-confident, less literate, less polite, less economically equal, more competitive, more expressive and more sexual. Frum examines this metamorphosis through political events, popular opinion polls, films, music, advertising and more to describe the most total social transformation the United States has lived through since the coming age of industrialism.".

Description:
Basic Books, 2000. First. Hardcover. New/New. A new 1st Edition hardcover with Two-toned red paper over boards with gilt lettering along the spine. Pages 418. Full number line. For many, the 1970s evoke the Brady Bunch and the birth of disco. In this first, thematic popular history of the decade, David Frum argues that it was the 1970s, not the 1960s, that created modern America and altered the American personality forever. A society that had valued faith, self-reliance, self-sacrifice, and family loyalty evolved in little more than a decade into one characterized by superstition, self-interest, narcissism, and guilt. Frum examines this metamorphosis through the rise to cultural dominance of faddish psychology, astrology, drugs, religious cults, and consumer debt, and profiles such prominent players of the decade as Werner Erhard, Alex Comfort, and Jerry Brown. How We Got Here is lively and provocative reading.
