Thine Alabaster Cities Gleam by Lawrence R. Velvel
Do hard work, competence and honesty still form the bedrock of the American Dream or have vastly different values and societal mores changed the very meaning of, and path to, success? Thine Alabaster Cities Gleam is a searing look at the determinants of professional success in America during the last half of the 20th century. In this memoir, author Lawrence R. Velvel, a law school Dean, proffers wide ranging criticism of the dishonesty, elitism, celebrification, and braggadocio that are now paving the road to success in modern America and are tarnishing the American Dream.
