"The Culture of Immodesty in American Life and politcs" is a collection of thirteen essays from a broad range of scholars and independent authors, evaluating the prevalence of immodesty in various aspects of American life and culture. Contributors diagnose immodesty through the lens of corporations that are "too big to fail," consumption inspired by excessive greed, art and fashion that lack beauty and taste, government budgets resulting in perennial deficits, and foreign policy that meddle in the affairs of other nations. Going beyond mere diagnosis of societal ills, "The Culture of Immodesty in American Life and Politics" provides a prescription for cultural impropriety: promoting a framework for the rejection of immodesty and greed in contemporary life.
