| This question <993|111> overall <56|58> Marlin: <974|62>. |
| Question 9: Describe a situation in daily life in which this “abstractness” of wealth becomes an issue? |
| [57] Marlin: In everyday life, people with little material possesions are viewed as less wealthy than those possessing a larger accumulation. Most commonly, person A with $100,000 is viewed as wealthier than person B with $50,000. Wealth seems to be measured as one person compared to another rather than a straight analysis of that person's possessions. |
| Hans: And since wealth becomes measured on a linear scale, the persons themselves are measured by their place on this scale. This is perhaps implicit in your argument, but you should bring it out explicitly. |
