Wealth

u ECAUSE of an Unsuitable love
ID of gold and silver, every man
will stoop to any art or contriv-
ance, seemly or unseemly, in the
hope of becoming rich; and will
make no objection to performing
any action, holy, or unholy and
utterly base, if only like a beast
he has the power of eating and
drinking all kinds of things, and
procuring for himself in every
sort of way the qualification of
his lusts.
Let this, then, be deemed one of
the causes which prevent states
from pursuing in an efficient
manner any noble aim, but makes
the orderly and temperate part of
mankind into merchants, and
captains of ships, and servants,
and converts the valiant sort into
thieves and burglars, and robbers
of temples, and violent, tyranni-
cal persons. Plato (428-348 B.C.l
And you, sir, must drive COW
etousness out of your heart. For
the Apostle says that "The love of
money is the root of all evil" And,
trust me, covetous man cannot
judge correctly, nor can he think
well, save only to the furtherance
of his covetousness; and that, in
truth, can never really be accom-
plished, because the richer he be-
comes, the greater desire he has
for yet a larger abundance
Chducer (I34O-14OO).
The desire for food is limited in
every man by the narrow capac-
ity of his stomach; but the desire
of conveniences and ornaments of
building, dress, equipage, and
household furniture seems to have
no limit or certain boundary.
Those, therefore, who have the
command of more food than they
themselves can consume, are al
ways willing to exchange the sur
plus, or, what is the same thing,
the price of it, for qualification Of
this other kind. What is over and
above satisfying the limited de-
sire is given for the amusement of
those desires which cannot be sat
is6ed but seem to be altogether
endless. Adam Smith (from
Wealth Of Nations. I776).
