About this Quote

This quote by Walter Annenberg speaks to the value of political power in comparison to money power. Annenberg is recommending that political power is more influential than cash power. This is due to the fact that political power is the ability to influence the decisions of federal government and public law. Money power, on the other hand, is the ability to affect decisions through making use of cash. Money power can be utilized to affect choices, however it is restricted in its scope and reach. Political power, however, is much more far-reaching and can be used to form the direction of a country. Annenberg is highlighting the importance of political power in comparison to cash power, and is recommending that it is the most powerful force in the world.
