its interesting how much William James consistently uses money as metaphor in his writing - i'm not sure if this is a reflection of the American idioms of the day but it doesn't feel irrelevant to his thought as a whole
its clear that he's very connected to his time and place, which is fitting for one of the founders of pragmatism i suppose, for some reason its still a little [strange? no. disappointing? no. idk] how politically moderate they all are.
(yes its clear hes disagreeing with the the highlight but its still very reflective of his context)
