Fromm's idea about how people crave security brings up an interesting trend in our culture. For the last several decades, we have been seeing large numbers of people pursuing security through ownership of 'things'. Think 'hoarders' here. In the 80's, there was a saying the illustrated this: "He who dies with the most toys--wins!" However in the last decade or so, we have been seeing a trend towards 'dematerialization', a term from economics that refers to doing the same thing with fewer materials. For example, the tiny house movement. For another example, for the first time since they've been issuing them, fewer than half of 18 years olds in the United State have a drivers license. So what else does this mean they don't have? While dematerialization is not universal, it is occurring in a lot of diverse cultures around the world--and there is one huge driving force behind it.
