To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Write this then in your heart, that the worth of what you have depends upon what you are. Money has just that value we have agreed to give it. To a savage in a jungle, it has none. Neither are the dower of the rich and the dower of the poor the same. You may buy the scholar's book, but it will not be the same book to you as it is to him; you may go into the woods with the naturalist but you will not see the woods that he sees; live next door to a philosopher and still be as remote from his worl...d as the East is from the West; buy your way into society and have what you pay for — a patronising con- tempt. That which is not to be bought you will fail to acquire in any instance. i So Resources Let us no longer exaggerate the value of property; let us instead, if only for variety, emphasise the worth of man. He it is who has invented money to serve him, only to find it a taskmaster. The inventor is crushed by his invention. Let him learn to regard things with less deference and no longer be awed by all the pompous shallow-pates in the name of property.
