“The business of America is business,” as Calvin Coolidge had announced, and everybody seemed to be in it for what he could get out of it.  But had the successful men, let alone the failures, been getting anything of human value?  Edmund Wilson was speaking for most writers of our generation when he said in his “Appeal to Progressives,” “The Buicks and Cadillacs, the bad gin and Scotch, the radio concerts interrupted by advertising talks, the golf and bridge of the suburban household, which the bond salesman can get for his money, can hardly compensate him for daily work of a kind in which it is utterly impossible to imagine a normal human being taking satisfaction or pride—and the bond salesman is the type of the whole urban office class.  The brokers and the bankers who are shooting themselves and jumping out of windows have been disheartened by the precariousness of their profession—but would they be killing themselves if they loved it?  Who today, in fact, in the United States, can really love our meaningless life?”
