Bernard de Mandeville Zitate

There is no intrinsic worth in money but what is alterable with the times, and whether a guinea goes for twenty pounds or for a shilling, it is the labor of the poor and not the high and low value that is set on gold or silver, which all the comforts of life must arise from.

Es gibt keinen intrinsischen Wert im Geld, aber was sich mit der Zeit ändern kann, und ob ein Guinea für zwanzig Pfund oder für einen Schilling geht, es ist die Arbeit der Armen und nicht der hohe und der niedrige Wert, der auf Gold oder Silber gesetzt wird. aus dem sich alle Annehmlichkeiten des Lebens ergeben müssen.
