Reached for: Magazines (Business Week:)
“It comes down to power, money and standing; those are the things that tell me, and everyone, that I'm worth something.”
It shows up as a pursuit of power, money and status, worth measured in standing and the markers of getting ahead. The drive is effective and real; it also stakes the whole of a person's value on rank and holdings, so that enough is never quite reached. What it asks for is a worth that isn't priced in power and money.
Mammon, the spirit of wealth who kept his gaze bent to the golden pavement, valuing everything by what it was worth and himself by what he held. The form implies a task: to find a worth that no ledger records.
