Money or science? Which one is more important? Which one do we need more? Which one was, is and will be more important in the world after corona virus pandemic?
Therefore, advanced technology costs investment in technology and requires considerable financial capital. Technological and scientific development contribute to the wealth of developed knowledge-based economies. All these value categories are interrelated. On the other hand, the ones that are more important depend on what exactly a specific person does at a given moment, in what area of the economy it operates, what profession it performs, what passions, hobbies, interests, spending free time etc. For me, science is full for various reasons special role in my life.

On a global scale, wealth and science are positively related. Science drives technical progress, which is essential for raising living standards. In turn, high labour productivity means more resources for research and development, and also allows more people to work in science.
But then it comes personal level... whether science is the primary motivation, or just a tool to increase income? I think most scientists combine both - clearly, the number of scientists would be much lower if science would not be paid; but also I doubt whether one can have high achievements in field that he doesn't like.
Technology cannot develop without money, and health cannot develop without sciences. So they are related.
With knowledge you can earn money but with only money, can you earn the real and sustainable knowledge?
I would rephrase as below
Money vs Knowledge-What would you choose?
Knowledge of course : Since both Technology and Sciences are creations of knowledge. Knowledge is the ultimate power which has no end. For money if we ignore the materialism part of it then at best money is a motivator to achieve your life goals in the long run..
Many thanks Sudip. Indeed, we shall ask in this way as you mentioned:
Money vs Knowledge-What would you choose?
Money or technology? Wealth or sciences? - If all these issues were fully independent of each other, then it would be possible to carry out an objective, retrospective and / or prospective analysis of the significance level of these issues. However, they are all interrelated and correlated in different configurations. Besides, even the level and type of correlation, the connection of these issues with each other may look different in the characteristics of this issue drawn up subjectively by different people who are more or less related to the issues mentioned.
