"So you think that money is the root of all evil?"

Capitalism Magazine has a very interesting piece quoting Ayn Rand, here's the start of it:

'"So you think that money is the root of all evil?" said Francisco d'Anconia. "Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?'

What is greed?

Milton Friedman defends capitalism and does it well. This should be required watching for the BBC staff who hate Capitalism with every fibre of their body.
