Now I don’t see anything evil in a desire to make money. But money is only a means to some end. If a man wants it for a personal purpose – to invest in his industry, to create, to study, to travel, to enjoy luxury - he’s completely moral. But the men who place money first go much beyond that. Personal luxury is a limited endeavor. What they want is onstentation: to show, to stun, to enertain, to impress others. They’re second handers. 605

— Ayn Rand, money, second-handers
