Question

Why is wealth a better tool to gain power​

Answer 1

There's many answers to this but, a very straightforward one would be: In a capitalist country, like the US, money gives you virtually anything, like status, and having a status can make people afraid of you, makes them respect you and value you as well as your opinions more. With that, when others are afraid of you, it gives you power to control. When you have control you also have power

So basically, money gives control, control = power

Answer 2

Explanation: Wealth is a better tool to gain power because,

the more wealthy people can for example, do more. They can get out of any situation with their money. They can literally become president, just because they have money and now power to do things than what a poor president could do. They can also accomplish more things with their money, and even get more money from that as well.

I hope this answers your question.
