Because, in reality, all the necessities of life are dealt with through financial transactions.
Does it follow, then, that if one possesses great wealth, one can be free?
I don’t believe that is the case; I would certainly like to believe that it is not the case,
and that human values and human happiness cannot be bought with money.
PHILOSOPHER: Well, say for the moment that you have obtained financial freedom.

YOUTH: It would be the interpersonal relationships you have been mentioning.
I have thought deeply about this matter. For instance, you might be blessed by great wealth but not have anyone who loves you;
you have no comrades whom you could call friends, and you are not liked by anyone.
This is a great misfortune. Another thing I can’t get out of my head is the word “bonds.”
Every one of us is tangled up and writhing in these strings that we call bonds.
