The economic takeoff is helpful for raising the quality of culture. But from another angle, some people believe that the roots of culture in Taiwan are weak. Sudden wealth at this time is by no means an unmixed blessing. This is especially true with the percolation of a "get rich quick" attitude into the arts, which will do even more to erode the roots of cultural development.
經濟起飛有助於提昇文化品質，但另一方面，也有人憂心地認為，台灣的文化根基薄弱，此時驟然富裕並非好事，尤其「急功近利」的歪風吹進文化界，更足以腐蝕文化發展的根基。
