Money and wealth of course do not in themselves contribute anything at all to culture. The books are a symbol of culture but the owner does not necessarily possess what the books are a symbol of. The question is difficult to answer and the only sure thing is that it is not easy to acquire. There must be a spontaneous process from within a person which combines elements of all of these. A cultured person, in my mind, is one who combines many of these and, if God has blessed him with bounties, combines this with the others for the service and good of is fellow men.
Culture is something that aims to create an improved society and better relations between people.
