Description
During the four decades since this essay was written the moral strain implicit in the continual degeneration of all money-values in real terms has played a large, indeed a crucial part, in the degeneration of all other values: social, educational, sexual, political, commercial, and religious. Money now rules all, enters into virtually everything. This is not a matter of ‘economic theory’; it is a matter of everyday experience.
