- Every other freedom requires economic security
- Without money you're controlled by survival
- Speech and rights mean nothing when desperate
- Economic dependence is complete unfreedom
Disagree
- Plenty of wealthy people feel deeply trapped
- Spiritual and intellectual freedom transcend money
- Community bonds matter more than independence
- This reduces human experience to economics
