THERE ARE DIFFERENT FORMS OF POWER, I Don't know which power you are talking about. But I will put my point this way. As we are living in this modern world money is the source of everything. If you have it you will be considered powerful and everyone will start to respect him or her.
Earlier as i said there are many types of power. Let's Say you have physical power for example, You have a great body with great muscles to crush someone's face. This is also called power
I would prefer money over power because the power you get when you have money is ... is ... (I am nog getting any adjective to describe it) just amazing.
