Are you sure that’s what people mean when they say “decadent”? I would, for example, include things like hedonism, living beyond one’s means, decreases in frugality, increases in conspicuous consumption, decrease in self-reliance skills. That’s not to blame the people involved, they’re responses to the environment that people find themselves in, and the culture that has developed.
