I'm not talking about freedom in the flag waving sense, freedom in the spiritual sense(not to be confused with religion). It's all about passion and the freedom to pursue it.
And back to your original claim, I've struggled to come up with a single beloved character in her books that celebrated the trappings of wealth.... I've come up with none. Money and wealth are byproducts of the passion not the goal.
