"In opposition to contemporary urban values, Buddhism
does not measure a person's or nation's worth by
material wealth. Nor does it go to the opposite extreme,
as do Marxist thinkers, and condemn the accumulation of
wealth as an evil in and of itself. Instead, Buddhism
judges the ethical value of wealth by the ways in which
it is obtained, and the uses to which it is put."
- Ven. Payutto, "Buddhist Economics: A Middle Way for the Market Place"
It is not how much, or how little. How did it arise and what does it do, those are important.
