PLUTOLATRY — [Noun] The worship of money; excessive fondness or greed for wealth. From Greek ploutos ("wealth") + -latry ("worship of"). Unlike "plutomania" (an obsessive craving) or "avarice" (mere greed), plutolatry is the sanctification of currency, the liturgy of lucre. It is the gilded altars of hedge-fund offices, the hushed reverence before a freshly printed banknote, the way a man might stroke the leather of his wallet like a rosary—proof that even in a secular age, the human heart still bows to something.
