  5. “When the accumulation of wealth is no longer of high social importance, there will be great changes in the code of morals. We shall be able to rid ourselves of many of the pseudo-moral principles which have hag-ridden us for years.”John Maynard KeynesBritish Economist

  7. “When the accumulation of wealth is no longer of high social importance, there will be great changes in the code of morals. We shall be able to rid ourselves of many of the pseudo-moral principles which have hag-ridden us for years.”John Maynard KeynesBritish Economist

  8. 3. Read for “chunks” of meaning WHAT? When the accumulation of wealth is no longer of high importance, there will be great changes in the code of morals.

  9. 3. Rewrite each “chunk” in your own words When the accumulation of wealth is no longer of high importance, there will be great changes in the code of morals. The understanding of right and wrong would be different if society valued money less than it does.

  10. 4. DO NOT: • Translate one word at a time • Follow the same sentence structure At the time that collecting money is not any more of elevated collective significance . . . WHAT?

  11. 5. DO: • Use the thesaurus to carefully choose synonyms • Keep meaning in the same order as much as possible
