  • Project Syndicate: Karl Marx thought so. In The Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844, a youthful work that remained unpublished and largely unknown until the mid-twentieth century, Marx describes money as ?the universal agent of separation,? because it transforms human characteristic s into something else. A man may be ugly, Marx wrote, but if he has money, he can buy for himself ?the most beautiful of women.? Without money, presumably, some more positive human qualities would be needed. Money alienates us, Marx thought, from our true human nature and from our fellow human beings.

There are things I want that you can?t give me.' Or, 'I?m not in love with you anymore.' Or, 'Went out. Took the truck. Be back later.'&q uot;
