I think it's both parties fault to be honest. The Machine that is industrialization and imperialism makes it known that we must continue to strive for more and more along with peoples insatiable appetite for more and more gadgets and gizmos. People have forgotten how joyous the simple life can be and by manipulation of the Machine that is this world power, we are programmed to find happiness within material items. I'm sure there are more elaborate explanations but I have neither the desire not the strength to think/worry about them.
