think you meant to ask for books against materialism, and no, there isn't any, because if you had a book it'd defeat the point

Those cars fulfilled their purpose. They created jealousy in the whole of America, in all the super-rich people. If they were intelligent enough, rather than being my enemies, they would have come to me to find a way to get rid of their jealousy, because it is their problem. Jealousy is a fire that burns you, and burns you badly. You are in the hands of somebody else.

I was just a tourist there, and I disturbed the whole of America. They had all the money, they could have purchased more Rolls Royces if they wanted. But they had no guts for that either. They were condemning me, saying that I am a materialist. And you will be surprised; one bishop who was continuously condemning me as a materialist, wrote me a letter, privately, saying, "It would be very compassionate of you if you could donate a Rolls Royce to my church. It won't make any difference to you - ninety-three or ninety-two - but it will make much difference to us." And every Sunday he was condemning me. His condemnation was not about my materialism; his condemnation was to hide his jealousy.

The politicians, the rich, could have managed it for themselves. Why were they worried? But the worry was that a tourist, on a tourist visa, has defeated all the super-rich - it hurts! If they were intelligent enough, they could have understood that there must be a purpose behind these Rolls Royces. It cannot be just the one-hour ride. For that, one Rolls Royce would have been enough.

Not materialism. You are conflating it with consumerism. These posters should be permanently banned from /lit/.

He and his lackeys are brainlets that belong on www.reddit.com. If your first thought of materialism is consumerism, then you are a brainlet undergraduate at best that doesn't even have a superficial understanding of philosophy. You do not belong on this board, not now, not ever. I would suggest going to >>>/pol/, because at least confusing the two concepts is more fitting there and you would be able to get some traction of a discussion and it would scare off or redpill the redditors to some extent. This is now an advanced metaphysics discussion thread. Feel free to offer your best arguments for materialism.
