Wealth addiction
Book • 1980
Wealth Addiction explores the psychological and social consequences of the relentless pursuit of wealth.
Slater argues that the obsessive accumulation of riches leads to a profound sense of emptiness and disconnection from genuine human values.
The book suggests that those consumed by wealth addiction become trapped in a cycle of perpetual grasping, never finding satisfaction or fulfillment, no matter how much they acquire.
Slater contends that this addiction not only harms individuals but also erodes the social fabric, fostering inequality and undermining community bonds.
He examines how the insatiable desire for more perpetuates a culture of materialism and competition.
The book offers a critical perspective on the societal glorification of wealth and its detrimental effects on personal and collective well-being.
