2 I have often tried to argue with Ronald Inglehart that the users of cars, refrigerators, TV and videos, skiing and summer holidays, pot and sex are enjoying ostensibly as much, if not more, the materialistic advantages and pleasures as the preceding generations. The mainly sartorial differences which separate the two generations are really negligible – and here again it is because they like jeans and T‐shirts that they wear them. But Inglehart’s own idealism is admirably firm.
