12/08/2003: "Wealth"

I may get rich some day (though I doubt it), but it will not be because I have come up with a successful "get rich quick" scheme. I have a pretty good imagination, I think, but not one capable of imagining what makes people part with their money. Not the disposable camera, nor the seasonal banner, and certainly not the tiny radiotelephone through which you can sent little telegrams; none of these would have comwe to me as ideas of any sort, and I would have scoffed that anyone would spend money on them. I think more in terms of hats that grow broccoli, kerosene-powered perfume atomizers, and spare tires that are also musical nstruments. I am confident there's no money in any of it.
