Le pouvoir et l'argent

En réalisant des statistiques sur les réponses des français et des américains sur le mot "pouvoir" j'ai constaté que le mot argent est très récurrent chez les américains. Pensez vous que le fait de posséder de l'argent suffit pour avoir du pouvoir?

Money is power

Maybe it's just me, but i feel that money is definitely indicative of power. I don't agree that it should be this way, but that is what society dictates. If I were to name some very important, powerful people in this world a majority would have money to back it up. For example Bill Gates is a perfect example of how money can transfer to power in the computer industry. Rare is the person that can generate power without wealth (ie Ghandi), but i feel that their power is more permanent and worthy. What do you think of Bill Gates? Do you think his power is limited? Do you associate money with success?
