From Dethroning Mammon by Justin Welby
It (mammon) generates a powerful stream of subconscious ideas in our society today.

It establishes … a way of looking at the world which begins all relationships with the question ‘What are they trying to get out of me?’, or ‘What power are they seeking to acquire?’
