Abstract: Abstract This chapter tries to proves that there is a dialectical relationship tying Power, Wealth and Knowledge to each other. This relationship started in the tribal age and continues today. However, while power was the means to obtain wealth in the tribal and agricultural times, wealth was the major tool to acquire power and power was the major tool to acquire knowledge in agricultural times. Today, knowledge has become the major source of wealth, and wealth has become the major source of power. This means that while power in older times lead to knowledge through wealth, knowledge today leads to power through wealth also. So history shows that power leads to wealth, and wealth leads to knowledge, and knowledge translates itself into wealth, and wealth translates itself into political power and social status.
