Answer:

The answer is summary.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dash has some specific purposes when being used: it indicates emphasis, or how a sudden change, or an interruption. In this case, it is used to summarize the things that cannot replace inner peace since those things (fame, fortune, possessions) are linked to the last part of the statement.
