Thus, what I am and am capable of is by no means determined by my individuality. I am ugly, but I can buy for myself the most beautiful of women. Therefore I am not ugly, for the effect of ugliness \u2013 its deterrent power \u2013 is nullified by money. I, according to my individual characteristics, am lame, but money furnishes me with twenty-four feet. Therefore I am not lame. I am bad, dishonest, unscrupulous, stupid; but money is honored, and hence its possessor. Money is the supreme good, therefore its possessor is good.</blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1844/manuscripts/power.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Karl Marx</a></p><hr><p>I always thought \u201cmana\u201d would be a good name for a currency.<br/></p>"}
