Nothing incites to money-crimes like great poverty or great

Summary

This quote suggests that extreme poverty or extreme wealth can often be motivators for individuals to engage in criminal behavior related to money. When individuals are faced with the desperate need to escape poverty or overcome financial struggles, they might resort to illegal activities in order to obtain the resources they lack. Similarly, for those who possess immense wealth, an insatiable desire for more money and power can drive them to engage in unethical or illegal practices to further increase their riches. Both poverty and wealth can create environments where individuals feel compelled to break the law in pursuit of financial security or excessive monetary gains.
