Résumé du livre

A friend of mine once said to a millionaire, whom he saw forever engaged in making money which he never seemed to have any pleasure in spending, "Pray, Mr. --------, will you answer me one question: You are said to have two millions, and you spend 600 pounds a year. In order to rest and enjoy, what will content you?" -- "A little more," answered the millionaire. That "little more" is the mainspring of civilization. Nobody ever gets it! . . .
