In Kant, Liberalism, and the Meaning of Life, Jeffrey Church addresses the "meaning deficit" in contemporary liberal societies. Even though Western countries are wealthier now than ever, liberal governments nevertheless have become increasingly out of touch with the middle class and its moral needs for purpose and belonging.
