Poverty and wealth are only a state of mind. The German aristocrat, journalist and writer Alexander von Schonburg has every right to make such statements: for seven hundred years, his ancestors only did that they became poor, and he himself became acquainted with poverty firsthand.
Poverty and wealth are only a state of mind. The German aristocrat, journalist and writer Alexander von Schonburg has every right to make such statements: for seven hundred years, his ancestors only did that they became poor, and he himself became acquainted with poverty firsthand. Von Schonburg’s idea is simple: you don’t have to spend a lot of money on housing, clothing or entertainment — the quality of life is not improved by new acquisitions, but by the right attitude to what you already have. The charming and witty book by Alexander von Schonburg became a kind of declaration of war on consumerism that gripped Western society and formed the basis of the popular movement in Europe of the “new poor” — people who deliberately refuse to participate in the consumption marathon and seek to derive pleasure from simple and ordinary things.
