I disagree. I think that it’s a product of capitalism. Wealth is still primarily gained by inheritance, but everyone used to know that, and so whether someone was a tit was not connected with how much wealth they possessed.
The capitalist lie is that if you’re rich, or poor, or somewhere in between, you deserve it.
This is partly because of the belief that wealth is a good indicator of character.
