The Root Of All Evil

"Trade in money itself, in all its ramifications, has become very literally the root of all evil, and it is natural to aim at a millennium in which it will have totally disappeared. But there are so many states before we can get near such a millennium that very much consideration of this distant and puzzling ideal may be a waste of time. Civilisation is so behind-hand in monetary science, while so advanced in other sciences, that we had better be content with working for a system which will at any rate diminish the evil, a system of solvency instead of a system of debt." - p. 98.
