"The most obvious and yet the oldest and most stubborn error on which the appeal of inflation rests is that of confusing â€˜moneyâ€™ with â€˜wealthâ€™â€¦Real wealth, of course, consists in what is produced and consumed: the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the houses we live in. It is railways and roads and motor cars; ships and planes and factories; schools and churches and theaters; pianos, paintings and books. Yet so powerful is the verbal ambiguity that confuses money with wealth, that even those who at times recognize the confusion will slide back into it in the course of their reasoning."

-- Henry Hazlitt
