Getting What You Want?: Critique of Liberal Morality (Ideas) Book

Bob Brecher claims that it is wrong to think that morality is simply rooted in what people want. Brecher explains that in our consumerist society, we make the assumption that getting "what people want" is our natural goal, and that this goal is usually a good one. We see that whether it is a matter of pornography or getting married--if people want it, then that's that. But is this really a good thing? Getting What You Want offers a critique of liberal morality and an analysis of its understanding of the individual as a wanting thing.
