A critique argues that wealth as power appears in many nations, yet the true allure is not the millionaire but the social status and influence wealth affords. It notes Europeans view wealth with mixed reverence, while Major powers show varying attitudes toward the rich and rank. The piece contrasts European responses with English aristocratic obligations and questions the temptations behind relentless wealth pursuit. Meanwhile a separate vignette tells of a plain Lady transformed by a red hat into fashion and social frivolity, altering her life from piety to vanity and social ornament.
