Summary

This quote suggests that our society is predominantly focused on consumerism, money, and material possessions, with a strong emphasis on power and personal gratification. It implies that there is an overwhelming preoccupation with acquiring wealth and satisfying individual desires, which leaves little room for other values such as empathy, altruism, or communal well-being. The notion of a "market-driven society" indicates that economic forces heavily dictate our choices and behavior, potentially neglecting other important aspects of life beyond material accumulation.
