Not imputing that to you, but it seems like they are people out there that believe money is all that matters. The map with the richest details won't save anyone in a territory that was turned into a wasteland unable to produce a single apple on the whole land.

Yes, but thats because Capitalism is mostly built of the idea of fungibility. So yeah, Americans have told themselves for over a century, whatever they need, just substitute money and you can get it eventually. All other things aside, that's a pretty toxic way if not downright psychotic, way to reframe your relationship with society and other people.
