I think that the entire western world is materialistic on some level.
We all want our little home comforts, or a nice car, or a holiday in the sun, or DVD's, or Computer games or whatever.

The States is the centre of capitalism. Therefore, ANYONE who thinks the world is becoming too obsessed with accumulation of things will lay the blame at America's door. Hence people calling it 'materialistic'

BUt then they do seem to work harder for it.
The average American seems to work more hours and have less vacation time than the average European.

True, but they also pay less taxes so that kinda evens it out.
