“[W]hat is the end of avarice and ambition, of the pursuit of wealth, of power, and preeminence?
Is it to supply the necessities of nature? The wages of the meanest labourer
can supply them [...]. [W]hy should those who have been educated in the higher ranks of
life, regard it as worse than death, to be reduced to live, even without labour, upon the
same simple fare with him, to dwell under the same lowly roof, and to be clothed in the
same humble attire? [...] It is the vanity, not the ease, or the pleasure, which interests
us.” (Adam Smith, 1759)
