For people who live in the suburbs and must commute long distances to work, their wealth will sink as energy prices rise.

Pricey oil makes clear that wealth really is energy in various forms.

Energy powers our economy, both literally and figuratively.

All riches have their origin in mind. Wealth is in ideas - not money.

The key thing about wealth in a capitalist economy is that it reproduces itself and usually earns a positive net return.

In the end, our minds and their ability to create new ideas are the ultimate source of all human wealth. That's a resource nearly without limit.

I think the perception of wealth and power is that things just become easier and easier when in reality as you raise the stakes things become more stressful.

Wealth today has been created by a world view dominated by fast-moving networks, open information, bottom-up entrepreneurialism.

Wealth is the progressive realization of worthy goals, the ability to love and have compassion, meaningful and caring relationships.

Money: power at its most liquid.
