A friend of mine uses the term “coin sickness“ to describe somebody who would rather have money than material wealth. Someone who sees the brand of clothing but couldn’t identify quality fabrics or stitching.
I use Chrome for iOS. On human-hostile sites like that, I take the human out of the loop. I press the “hey Gemini, what is this page about?” button and read a clean version in an overlay window.
This is a book excerpt. I didn’t find any in-depth reviews, but one of the authors posted a summary of the book here:

While financialized society is still standing, I'd much rather have money than material wealth.
Security and freedom, time, and well-being. Worth much more than another luxury t-shirt.
So many popups.
I love reading articles in Firefox. uBlock Origin takes care of most annoyances, immediately using Reader View on load makes it them look the same.
Didn’t see any in mobile Safari with ad blocker.
That popups has an annoying article. I think.
My mobile browser gave up it was so bad. Shame, it seemed like it could have been an interesting read.
It looks good on Firefox For Android with the uBlock Origin add-on.
Works fine on Lynx (on Termux).
Only if you run javascript
i turned off adguard on ios safari to see what you're talking about... oh wow! You really didn't overstate it.
In other news, my appreciation of the block lists i have configured in adguard just notched up a few more points!
lol 11 comments on this article and all but 1 are about the popups

Why do people write like this? So much preamble. Unnecessary metaphors. Just make your point and be done with it.
Why do people even write, just so us pictures am I right ?
Because "money and physical things are conflated in our thinking" is simple enough to sound trite.
Haha agreed, but remember, it's posted on lit[erature]hub, not tech[nical]hub.
