Glitter and Gold in a World of Value
The essay critiques snobbery in taste and money. It contrasts two red elephants priced $9 and $6.50 with a $1.49 alternative, shows how appearances shape choices, and condemns valuing glitter over worth. It recalls a Chicago club room lined with stock certs and a New York family choosing a cheaper, high class college, arguing we confuse cost with value and miss true worth.
