Greetings Sweetmemory,

Good read and thought-provoking even as it relates to the modern view on luxury and wealth as both power and entitlement.
Especially appreciated the brief take on how luxury can be used to solidify allies and seduce others into your camp. Still works today!
Thank you for posting.

Regards,
Sikander
