This

 will give my own perspective on the matter. On one hand, people who believe that
materialism
 is being given too much importance argue that
this

 directly relates to inequitable distribution of wealth. People focus on earning more than their needs and end up buying possessions that are very expensive

an adornment (as a bracelet or ring or necklace) made of precious metals and set with gems (or imitation gems)

 so poor that they end up dying due to hunger.
For instance

the USA
 where only 1% of the population owns 97% of the Country’s wealth.
On the contrary
, people who believe that
materialism
 is important in improving people’s lives argue that it provides jobs to people and reduces unemployment rate.
Materialism

 promotes consumerism which means that people will buy and consume more. In order to

 the demand of consumers, industries would be established, more industries would mean more jobs and less unemployment. In conclusion, in my opinion too much focus on

 leads to an in-equal income distribution in any society,
this
 is far more dangerous than the benefit of its role in creating employment opportunities.
