Excerpt from Great Fortunes: The Winning: The Using
Psychologists tell us that men's actions are all determined by feeling. Knowledge of itself does not determine action. We act only to gratify some desire. If, then, we are to understand the social causes and effects of great fortunes, the good or the evil which results from their accumulation and from the uses made of them, we must seek the impelling motives of the wealth-winners and the wealth-users. But we must beware of too posi tive conclusions. Men's motives are not simple.
