Yes, although there have been some currents of thought in Western culture that recognized the inherent futility of this type of materialism like epicureanism and it's later manifestations, overall the west has certainly took it to a new level. This type of thinking is now rampant throughout the world even in some traditional societies being affected.

The disease has spread. 😷
