The evolution of self-interest in the United States is examined, tracing a shift from a communal understanding to a more individualistic approach. This change, moving away from Tocqueville's idea of "self-interest well-understood," has led to a narrow focus on personal gain, often at the expense of community well-being. Through qualitative and quantitative analysis of presidential speeches, sitcoms, and popular music, the book highlights the implications of this shift, particularly its detrimental effects on democracy and social cohesion.
