The most interesting thing about the idea of money is that it makes it possible to measure something in previous ages we couldn't be sure about, and that something is power.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Money is a very important tool to make a big difference in people's life. It is positive or negative depending on the values.
I think money is a wonderful thing because it enables you to do things. It enables you to invest in ideas that don't have a short-term payback.
When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is.
But if inventions have increased man's power over nature very much, then the real value of money is better measured for some purposes in labour than in commodities.

It affects every aspect of our lives, is often said to be the root of all evil, and the analysis of the world that it makes possible - what we call 'the economy' - is so important to us that economists have become the high priests of our society.

Money gives you the power to do whatever you want to do. I like the idea of being in complete control of my life.
Money motivates neither the best people, nor the best in people. It can move the body and influence the mind, but it cannot touch the heart or move the spirit; that is reserved for belief, principle, and morality.
Money: power at its most liquid.
