The ideal of financial success is set before the young by most of the influences that form their minds. ... Merit not measured in money comes to be despised. Every kind of sensitiveness, being a handicap in the struggle, is regarded as a stigma of failure.

＜寸言＞
金銭でその価値を測れるものは「金額の高いものが価値がある」として扱ってもほとんど問題になりません。そういったものに余り価値を見出さない人は、「金銭面での成功」を求めないので、無視すればよいだけです。問題は「金銭で計れない価値」に関するものです。
マスコミはどうしても多くの人々が関心をもっている事柄を頻繁にとりあげ、往々にしていきすぎます。そうして、マスコミは金銭で計れない価値を見下すような風潮を生み出し、所得や財産が多い人々や権力を持っている人々を過剰に評価し、経済的にめぐまれない力のない一般大衆を「その他大勢」として軽視する傾向があります。
Things whose value can be measured in monetary terms can generally be treated as “the higher the price, the greater the value,” without much issue. Those who do not find much value in such things simply do not seek “financial success” and can ignore them. The real problem lies in matters related to “value that cannot be measured in money.”
The media, by its nature, frequently covers topics that capture the interest of many people, often to an excessive degree. In doing so, it fosters an attitude that looks down on non-monetary values, overestimates people with high income, wealth, or power, and tends to dismiss economically disadvantaged, powerless ordinary people as part of the “masses.”
