Sleep Now in the Fire: an Outcry Against the Cost of Avarice Wealth and power are powerful motivators for people and civilizations. While there are many people who have a more altruistic and minimal lifestyle‚ much of the leadership of our capitalist society draws from a pool of people who see acquisition of wealth as a symbol of a successful life. It is the American Dream to be able to show through such outward symbols as home ownership and vacations that one is moving upward in economic status
