This question <126|169> overall <126|128> Hans: <124|128>.  
  Question 5: Can one say that happiness is the only true wealth?   
  [127] Hans: The real basis of wealth.   Tesa gives two alternative definitions of wealth in [126]: either it is whatever makes a person happy, or it is something that is considered valuable. Both of these definitions are subjective, wealth is defined by the attitudes which people have towards the things that constitute wealth. A non-subjective definition of wealth would be for example: “knowledge and use-values which allow people to do things which they couldn't do before.” Here wealth is not defined by what people think or feel about something, but by what they are enabled to do by this thing.
