Introduction: Lenin's wishes
The worshippers and the despisers
The devil's dung
On the eminent dignity of the poor?
France or the taboo on money
America, or spiritual money
Three myths about the golden calf
Money, the ruler of the world?
Does opulence make people unhappy?
Has sordid calculation killed sublime love
Richesse oblige
Should bourgeois values be rehabilitated?
Getting rich is not a crime and falling into poverty is not a virtue
The hand that takes, the hand that gives back
Conclusion: An acknowledged schizophrenia.
