"money takes flight when might conquers right"

[Dan Goncharoff]

I can think of no context in which "artificial" makes sense.

I mean "fabricated" in the sense of "constructed". Both phrases,
"might makes right" and "money takes flight" were, and still are,
familiar in English. Stitching them together (as opposed to making
them up) is all the screenwriters had to do.
