money = power, also the ability to influence people = power. There is also solar power, wind power, hydro electric power, and the power of love, and of course physical power, to name a few. Your position on the social, or corporate ladder may afford you some power, or your position in government or the financial markets may also give you some power. Some people say former Fed.Chairman Alan Greenspan was the most powerful man on earth (given his ability to move financial markets with just a few words). I always though Steve Austin was a pretty powerful man, even though Oscar Goldman was the guy with all the pull.
