answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been,
printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the
questions.
When wealth came into existence, a moral structure was made
around money. The Puritan legacy inhibited luxury and self-
indulgence. Thoughtful people spread a practical gospel that
emphasized hard work, temperance and frugality and the result was
quite remarkable. The world has been affluent since its founding. But
it was, by and large, riot corrupted by wealth. For centuries, it
remained industrious, ambitious and frugal. Over the past 30 yr,
much of that has been shredded. The social norms and institutions
that encouraged frugality and spending what you earn have been
undermined. The institutions that encourage debt and living for the
moment have been strengthened. The moral guardians are forever
looking for decadence out of movies and reality shows. But the most
rampant decadence today is financial decadence, the trampling of
decent norms about how to use and harness money.
The deterioration of financial traditions has meant two things. First, it
has meant an explosion of debt that inhibits social mobility and ruins
lives. Second, the transformation has led to a stark financial
polarization. On one hand, there is what is called an investor class. It
has tax-deferred savings plans, as well as an army of financial
advisers. On the other hand, there is the lottery class, people with
litle access to financial planning but plenty of access to payday
lenders, credit cards and lottery agents. The loosening of financial
inhibition has meant more options for the well-educated but more
temptation and chaos for the most vulnerable. Social norms, the
invisible threads that guide behaviour, have deteriorated. Over the
past years, people have been more socially conscious about
protecting the environment and inhaling tobacco. They have becomeless socially conscious about money and debt.
The agents of destruction are many and State governments have
also played a role. They hawk their lottery products with aggression,
which some people call a tax on stupidity. Twenty per cent of the
world's population consists of frequent players, spending about $60
billion a year. Aside from the financial toll, the moral toll is
comprehensive. Here is the government, the guardian of order,
telling people that they don't have to work to build for the future. They
can strike it rich for nothing.
Payday lenders have also played a role. They seductively offer fast
cash-at absurd interest rates-to 15 million people every month. Credit
card companies have played a role.. Instead of targeting the
financially astute, who pay off their debts, they have found that they
can make money off the young and vulnerable. Fifty-six per cent of
students in their final year of college carry four or more credit cards.
The nation’s leaders have played a role as they have always had an
incentive to shove costs for current promises onto the backs of future
generations. It has only now become respectable to do so. The
market itself has played a role. Software stalwarts built socially useful
products to make their fortune. But what message do the salary
packages that their top managers get send across the country when
they ignore millions of fellow countrymen who suffer from poverty,
malnutrition or hunger? Austerity has become a thing of the past.
The list could go on. But there could be some recommendations.
First, raise public consciousness about debt the way the anti-
smoking activists did with their campaign. Second create institutions
that encourage thrift. Foundations and religious institutions could
issue short-term loans to cut into the payday lender's business.
Colleges could reduce credit card advertising on campus. The tax
code should tax consumption not income. But the most important
thing is to shift values. The ‘wise’ made it prestigious to embrace
certain middie class virtues. Now, it's socially acceptable to
undermine those virtues. It is considered normal to play the debt
game and imagine that decisions made today will have no
consequences in the future.Directions (81-85): Rearrange the following sentences (A), (B), (C),
