anyone ever play Monopoly as a kid/adult.
The need for money to survive has been going on since money came into existence. And survival techniques kept humans alive.

Check out Zeitgeist-Addendum
http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/
It portrays the role of money in our world, its destructive ability, and what it could be replaced with. I found it (what it could be replaced with) more addicting than money. Do you work for money? Or do you work for the satisfaction that your work brings you? Few have the privilege of doing what they like to do, but with technology as it is, isn't it possible? The movie speaks to this also. Check it out.

The drug metaphor helps demonstrate how the motivation for money often extends past its actual utility. This ties in with many sociological analyses that emphasise money's social meaning and symbolic nature over and above its simple utilitarian applications. </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.spring.org.uk/2008/05/why-money-is-part-of-human-nature-money.php"><DIV>Thinking of money as a drug highlights the biological basis of money. An evolutionary account underlines this biological perspective by suggesting that money addiction might be built on our drive to trade and play. </DIV><BR /><DIV>What Lea and Webley are implicitly arguing against is a purely cultural understanding of humans' relationship with money. Their view is that culture on its own is not powerful enough to explain the human motivation for money. Money, they argue, whether for good or evil, is part of human nature</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/DFD511C4-4549-4DF3-8067-A99C385EFD6F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
