Money worship is an ideological and moral concept of money first, which holds that money is not only omnipotent, but also the standard to measure all behaviors. People who hold the concept of money worship believe that "in society, nothing can be done without money" and "money is supreme". These values are considered to originate from the idea that capitalism encourages human beings to pursue self-interest.
Money worship often causes a lot of criticism, especially considered by many conservatives as one of the symbols of material and moral decay in modern society.
Critics believe that money worshippers put too much emphasis on the importance of money, so that money worshippers become mercenary, often only see the surface of many things, but fail to see their connotation, and are extremely empty in spirit; However, some people think that the pursuit of a better and richer life is the nature of all mankind, and money worship is only a reflection of this nature in the atmosphere of modern capitalist society.
