About this Quote

This quote by Neil Abercrombie speaks with the power of cash and how it can affect individuals's attitudes and behaviors. When the land became important and cash was in the bank, individuals all of a sudden became interested in problems of non-discrimination and who would be in charge of handling the resources. This suggests that money can be a powerful motivator, which individuals may be more likely to appreciate concerns of fairness and justice when there is a financial reward. It also suggests that individuals might be most likely to act when there is a monetary benefit, rather than when there is just a moral or ethical necessary. This quote highlights the importance of cash in our society and how it can shape our mindsets and behaviors.
