| “ | 不要為自己積蓄財寶在地上，地上有蟲蛀、鏽蝕，也有賊挖洞偷竊；只要為自己積蓄財寶在天上，天上沒有蟲蛀、鏽蝕，也沒有賊挖洞偷竊。因為你的財寶在哪裡，你的心也必在哪裡。 | ” |

| “ | 一個人不能事奉兩個主。不是惡這個愛那個，就是重這個輕那個。你們不能又事奉神，又事奉瑪門。 | ” |
| —— 《馬太福音 6:24》 | ||
No man can serve two masters: for either he. will hate the one, and love the other; or else. he will hold to the one, and despise the other, Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Matthew 6:24New International Version
24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
24「沒有人能事奉兩個主人：他或是要恨這一個而愛那一個，或是依附這一個而輕忽那一個。你們不能事奉天主而又事奉錢財。
在聖經中的路加福音 16:13和馬太福音 6:24，瑪門被人格化。在一些譯本中，還包括了路加福音16章9節和11節。

Mammonart. An Essay on Economic Interpretation is a book of literary criticism from a Socialist point of view of the traditional "great authors" of Western and American literature (along with a few painters and composers). Mammonart was written by the prolific muckraking journalist, novelist and Socialist activist Upton Sinclair, and published in 1925.
Overview[edit]
The book is one of the "Dead Hand" series: six books Sinclair wrote on American institutions. The series also includes The Profits of Religion, The Brass Check (journalism), The Goose-step (higher education), The Goslings (elementary and high school education), and Money Writes! (literature). The term "Dead Hand" criticizes Adam Smith's concept that allowing an "invisible hand" of many people's individual self-interests to shape economic relations provides the best result for society as a whole.
Sinclair intended Mammonart to be an alternative "textbook of culture" (p. 384). He says he expected it to soon be used as a textbook in Russian high schools, and hoped that it would be adopted by other European countries after they experienced Socialist revolutions.

在過去的歷史中，人們從不曾對金錢如此崇拜，將其頂禮為獨一的至尊；富人從不曾對窮人如此鄙夷，而窮人亦不曾對富人如此垂涎；現實物質從不曾對心靈情感如此抵拒，而心靈情感亦不曾對現實物質如此屈服；強者從不曾對弱者如此跋扈，而弱者亦不曾對強者如此懦弱。
