If money weren't the root of all evil, then this would not be accurate.

In theory, no...it's what people do with it and what it does to people that makes it evil...

It's a bit ironic, considering money partly decides what is evil.

No, though people can be evil with it. Really any finite resource can be consumed by greed and humans are naturally pretty greedy, it's not a property that belongs to money but anything that is good and finite ie food, money, people ect.

It drives society and makes life better for everyone. If anything, I'd say it is the opposite of evil.

It can be used as a means to evil. But also as a means to do good. The evil is down to the individual; and an evil person will do evil whether they have the money or not.

I can say, no; I believe war and conquering would be considered evil; money only may trigger war in certain circumstances.

Money is certainly not the root of ALL evil, but many terrible things have happened and will happen because of it. At the same time though, it can be a source of many good things as well (depending on your morals). Money is only valuable because we as a species believe it is, not because it is inherently useful or necessary. I wish humans would evolve past the concept of money, but that is as hard to imagine as the time before your birth.

It only does that because we believe it to be valuable. ALL forms of money/currency are useless outside of human society. It is something we would be far better off without if we could evolve past such a concept.

Currently money is the best system we have for preventing even more unfair distribution of necessities / resources in the world. I'd have to know more about a resource based economy before I would say its better than the monetary system. But our current system does leave the majority of people unfulfilled and almost slaves to money which in my opinion is pretty evil.

hoola

It enslaves Humankind. We work everyday because without money we would die of starvation. It doesn't better ourselves, it creates a system that entraps Humankind. What about people who work 4 jobs so their homes won't be foreclosed what about homeless people that can't work? what about lower class people who need the money more than say the fat cats on Wall Street. I say money owns people because without money you are nothing.

Furthermore if you lived in poverty you would be prone to steal to survive, more likely than a rich person or a person with money.

Without money there'd be no incentive to do a good job, which means basically employees and everything would only being doing half ass jobs or let alone not even bother with it at all.
