Peggy Noonan's Wall Street Journal aticle of 27 July is interesting. I have been thinking a lot about the effect of wealth on our national character. Philosophical materialism (the denial of non-material reality), practical materialism (the trivialization of non-material reality), and material wealth all go hand in hand. Here's a link to her article about the connection wealth and boorishness.
