But even if he has money, and a great deal of it, he is still in danger of leading an incomplete and cramped life, because our whole social order is directed to economic instead of spiritual ends.

What we are suffering from is lack of social adjustment and the failure to subordinate material and economic goods to human and spiritual ones.”
