But the attitude toward money has, of course, changed.Excepting pocket money, cash of any kind is now rarely used; money as a tangible(切实,实在)commodity has largely been replaced by credit.A deficit (赤字) economy, accompanied by huge expansion, has led us to think of money as product of the creative imagination.The banker no longer offers us a safe: he offers us a service in which the most valuable element is the creativity for the invention of large numbers.It is in no way surprising, in view of this change in attitude, that we are witnessing the disappearance of the heavy-walled bank.
Just as the older bank emphasized its strength, this bank by its architecture boasts of imaginative powers.From this point of view it is hard to say where architecture ends and human assertion (人们的说法)begins.
