The rotter who simpers that he sees no difference between the
power of the dollar and the power of the whip, ought to learn
the difference on his own hide -- as, I think, he will. Until
and unless you discover that money is the root of all good, you
ask for your own destruction. When money ceases to be the tool
by which men deal with one another, then men become the tools of
men. Blood, whips, and guns -- or dollars. Take your choice --
there is no other -- and your time is running out.
-- Francisco d'Anconia, in Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged"
