Alexis de Tocqueville:

As one digs deeper into the national character of the Americans, one sees that they have sought the value of everything in this world only in the answer to this single question: how much money will it bring in?

Afterthought:

If you have not read his Democracy in America, do so. In my opinion, the only one person understood America better than de Tocqueville, and that was Mark Twain.
