Diane Duane's Wizards at War (http://www.livejournal.com/users/kgbooklog/20206.html)
Did the character have any specific examples in mind?
No, it was just thrown out as something the reader is expected to agree with. I just re-read those bits, and found that I may have swapped the cause and effect, but I still disagree with the claim that the world has been gradually getting worse "these past couple thousand of years" and that spiritual things should be valued over tangible things.
