If you want to see how far literary standards have fallen in over a hundred years compare Dan Brown to those writers who were popular in the Victorian era. Dickens? Thackeray? Trollope?

I'm going to go out on a limb here, perhaps just to play devil's advocate, but my guess is that there were more than three writers during the Victorian era, many of whom were
popular at the time, just not able to stand the
test of time.
As for
'all about cash,' that was little Willy Shakespear's sole reason for writing... and folks still read him today!
Rich or poor, it's nice to have money!
