What do u think is chesterton’s purpose in writing this essay? according to chesterton, what larger social issues do books on success represent?

Chesterton’s purpose is to encourage people to rethink their definition of success, which is often equated with material wealth and social position. He rejects this kind of success as opposing moral values and encouraging greed, as well as assuming that everyone starts from the same point and should have the same goal.

Chesterton highlights the incorrect ideas of these books to show how they influence people. For instance, one such book uses the example of King Midas to describe a successful person. Chesterton uses the fable to show that King Midas was a prime example of foolishness. He says that the example of a so-called successful person in the book is only a slave to moneymaking and greed. The books have a negative effect on society, as they glorify greed and pride.
