Not only that, but money has become the standard measure of everything. Money is looked upon as the end of every ambition and every noble work. It has commercialized all art, thought and literature. It has brought about modern industrial slavery, which is just as bad as was the feudal state. Nobody can deny that we are money worshipers.
Nobody can deny that money is considered as the measure of education, of talent and of genius.
The rich man is a demi-god. It seems as if everything turns around the question of money. We educate ourselves and our children with the subconscious and conscious idea of making more money. We sell our ideas and our thoughts for money. Most people think that with money they can make their reputation, and that reputation is the medium of making more money.
