金钱的哲学 fromgaze2014-09-03 04:09:57

所有一切你无法做的事儿，你的钱却能做到。钱能吃，能喝，能去舞厅跳舞，能去剧场听歌剧，能去旅游，能买艺术品，能买学识，能买以前的珍宝，还能买到政权。钱能为你买到所有这一切，钱是真正的财产。尽管如此，然而金钱除了创造自己和购买自己以外其他什么它都不要，因为其他的一切不过是金钱的奴仆罢了。因此这个社会的所有的热忱和一切活动都必须孕育在极度贪婪之中。

——卡尔。马克思, 1844年“经济和哲学手稿”




…all the things which you cannot do, your money can do. It can eat and, drink, go to the dance hall and the theatre; it can travel, it can appropriate art, learning, the treasures of the past, political power – all this it can appropriate for you – it can buy all this: it is true endowment. Yet being all this, it wants to do nothing but create itself, buy itself; for everything else is after all its servant… All passions and all activity must therefore be submerged in avarice."

— Karl Marx - Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts 1844
