In Praise of Money

Celia Green argues that a very good analytical case could be made out for the desirability of money, on the most idealistic grounds - but never is.

The charms of money are distinctly under-represented in literature. There are no songs or poems extolling its virtues.

She offers this:

Money which soothes my woes

Faithful and never-failing support when all else turns against me

Constant and reliable when men betray and deride me

Ever-attentive to my smallest wish

Providing me with a fortress of refuge much better furnished than

my enemies would wish me to have

Respecting all my needs which I could not possibly explain to a

social worker or my GP. . . .
