>The modern West cannot tolerate that men should prefer to work less
>it is taken for granted that anyone who is not in a state of agitation and who does not produce much in a material way must be 'lazy'.
That only applies to peasants and slaves. And that's because the whole point of slaves is that they have to work. In general all ordinary people are slaves. I feel like he has to emphasize on that.
>and as everything that escapes the senses is held to be non-existent
It's quite the opposite, most people are religious or at least believe in a higher power.
>they are interested only in 'making money', because it is money that enables them to obtain these things, the more of which they have, the more they wish to have, as they go on discovering freesh needs; and this passion becomes for them the sole end in life.
Money is a very important factor in reaching freedom. But of course a lot of people just use it to blindly consooom. He shouldn't condemn money per se, just the application of it. More money is always something good, as long as it increases your freedom.

These two quotes didn't really convince me, he seems like an amateurish thinker.
