Summary "The Dominant Dollar" by Will Lillibridge is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative involves the contrasting philosophies of two main characters, Stephen Armstrong and Darley Roberts, who grapple with the concepts of ambition, success, and the value of money in their personal and professional lives. The book explores themes of financial independence and the social complexities surrounding relationships in a world where money often dictates one's choices. The opening portion introduces us to the dynamic between Armstrong and Roberts as they engage in a heated discussion. Armstrong criticizes Roberts for his cold, calculating view of life, which reduces emotional and moral considerations to mere financial transactions. Roberts defends his perspective by asserting that understanding the practical implications of choices, especially regarding financial security and happiness, is essential. Their conversation reveals their contrasting views: while Armstrong seems idealistic and focused on literary aspirations, Roberts is pragmatic and believes that possessing wealth is key to ensuring both personal and marital happiness. This philosophical clash sets the stage for the unfolding drama as both characters navigate their ambitions and the societal expectations placed upon them.
