Property should be possessed only by those who have intelligence: in other hands, property is a public danger. The rich man who does not know how to utilize the free time provided by his fortune will constantly strive to increase his wealth; this striving will be his support, his military cunning in the struggle against boredom. In this way colossal wealth arises from a comparatively moderate fortune, perfectly sufficient for a spiritually developed man; it is the direct result of spiritual insufficiency and poverty.

But now the rich man appears in a very different and unexpected form from what might have been supposed from his miserable beginnings; he can now disguise himself with education and art, and is able to buy himself this mask. In this way he excites the envy of the poor and uneducated - who always envy education and do not distinguish the mask from the real face - and in this way a social upheaval is prepared, because the gilded rudeness and ostentatious puffery in the so-called "pleasures of culture" inspire the idea that "it is all about money," whereas, although these pleasures of culture depend partly on money, they depend much more on intelligence.
