Yes, sort of, indirectly anyway.

Both are consequences of a common causal factor. A society that exists as a link between the past - Our parents, our parents parents... and the future - our children, our grandchildren... will build families and will build generational wealth. It will also produce and celebrate art that exists for a purpose and has a form that follows its function: To use beauty to draw the attention of the observer to timeless and transcendent truths. Truths that our forefathers died in discovering and preserving, because they believed in handing to their children the knowledge of a way to not live like beasts. Such a society will use money (ie. gold, silver) that maintains (or increases) value over time and serves to connect the value of assets across generations.
A society that says "Never trust anyone over 30!" produces a muddy barren field strewn with trash and human waste. A society that uses fiat money and randomly "qantitatively eases" its value at the whim of fools will destroy all knowledge of the true worth of a mans labor, of the worth of assets, and the worth of beauty. A society that pays women to destroy marriages will produce feral children, who become feral adults. A society that forgets God produces Brittney Spears.
I recently walked through the Harvard Business School campus. You can see the story in the buildings. Google will show you in an instant. Look at the form of the old halls, reverent of the past and built to last through generations, a monument to the transcendent. And look at what was built more recently, a celebration of the moment, airy and light, a monument to the transient.
Kipling put it well: "And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins, As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn, The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!"
