What is this ancient desire to be rich?

It's the same ancient desire to hunt and survive.

With money you can hunt. Without it you will be hunted.

When you don't have money you become the subject of the force and influence of those who have it.

You will have to live your life on someone else's terms.

If we believe history then I could agree yet my perspective is also ancient but it doesnt show man as an evolving creature who begins on Earth as a dumb hunter and gatherer moving along into the future developing an advanced brain. So our world force feeds us information based on fallacy of our ancestors to continue making the powerful and rich full in their poppycock. Make sense? Like another fellow said, we want to rule over people. So where we are today as we can analyze world situations doesnt seem we are very advanced.
