Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the psychological mechanisms governing the relationships between money and its owner, including the psychology of money, greed, avarice, and addiction. Historical material has been drawn on extensively, as well as the most recent data and studies. The concluding observation is that people’s succumbing to extraneous powers and concepts as well as not having the will to control their intentions and actions contradict the concept of human dignity since freedom is inseparably connected with this concept.
