Wealth is saying that of the things we value (power, knowledge or wealth) wealth is the most important. I think many people, especially CCCP, would feel a little uneasy about declaring that about all else we want money. The Morale penalty is designed to show that the people have become accustomed to having material things, and, like Morgan, prize comfort so highly it has a detrimental effect on society. It creates a society based on greed and the rat race, which is exactly the mistake that caused Earth's downfall IMHO. While of course the Peacekeepers will do whatever the majority wants, I believe we should value happiness over material gains.
I'm sure there was a point in there somewhere!
