When the accumulation of wealth is no longer of high social importance, there
will be great changes in the code of morals. We shall be able to rid our-
selves of many of the pseudo-moral principles which have hag-ridden us for
two hundred years, by which we have exalted some of the most distasteful of
human qualities into the position of highest virtues.
-- John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) "Essays in Persuasion" (1931)
