# Renewing American Culture: The Pursuit of Happiness

Theodore R. Malloch and Scott T. Massey discussed their book, "Renewing American Culture: The Pursuit of Happiness" in a program sponsored by the Center for the Book. The foreword to the book is by Librarian of Congress James H. Billington, who participated in a panel discussion about the volume following the presentation. The other panel members were Michael Novak, a writer and scholar, and Herb London, the president of the Hudson Institute, a nonprofit public policy research organization. How are the dynamics of globalization, smart technologies and the growth of knowledge affecting the core values of American culture and the humanities? "Renewing American Culture" (M&M Scrivener Press, 2006) examines the issues and sets forth the conditions needed for the pursuit of happiness in the 21st century.
