wealth

When thinking of wealth the first idea that comes to my mind is being rich. This would be in the first quadrant of Wilber's four. The immediate thought I have of wealthy is people that have a lot of money and can spend it freely. To me the objective quadrant would include my thought of the wealthy living in mansions and driving expensive cars. Those are the material ideas that I get from thr thought of wealth. In the intersubjective quadrant, I bellieve our culture shares the idea that the wealthy have the nicest houses and vehicles. I also think our culture judges the wealthy to be a class of people that are "stuck up". I think that wealthy are better off economically and can survive when it comes to capitalism. The wealthy often can have an influence on government bills and tax debates and decisions.
