if you think about it, money could solve a lot of problems, but i guess it also causes it as it brings selfishness. do you think there would be no world poverty if there was no money? but then if there was more money, there would be more you could use it for. hmmm. what do you think?

Money should be a means of facilitating trade. When people buy and sell, one of them usually brings a big pile of cash, while the other one usually brings something else. If both of them want what the other person has more than what's in their hands now, they swap.
The value of money is primarily its liquidity. The value of the other item is primarily its utility. The differing needs of different people is why trades involving money take place.
However, a money system can be a swindle in disguise. Such is the case for the "US" currency, which is in reality Federal Reserve banknotes. The Federal Reserve is a gigantic counterfeiting operation that has been run by Jewish bankers since 1913.
Under this money system, money comes into existence as an accounting entry. In other words it is created from nothing. In still other words, this kind of money is a fiction, a fantasy, a fraud. The bankers who create it do no work, but they suck wealth from people who work with the interest they charge for loans.
All the money in circulation today is the aggregate principal of these loans. Even if all of the money were to return to the bank as payments, still much more money would be owed because of the interest. And there would be no more money to pay with. So the bankers would call the police, call the sheriff, call out the National Guard if necessary, and seize other people's property.
The police call this kind of fraud a "numbers racket." It's like a ponzi or chain-letter scam. Because they invent money as a means of gaining wealth without working for it, the bankers are actually counterfeiting. It's legal when they do it because they have a government license. And it's an exclusive license that nobody else can get.
Even though some people might be able to work their way out of debt, they can do so only by making things worse for somebody else. The nation as a whole must keep sliding into debt to the Jews because the money system makes no other outcome possible.
To put it another way: the Federal Reserve's money system is a trap, and we Americans have fallen right into the pit.

No, money is not an answer to all problems. Neither is it a cause of all problems. Most problems in the world, especially material problems are a result of human greed.We always want more and more.As Mahatma Gandhi said, there is enough in this world to satisfy everyman's NEED, but not everyman's GREED. If we are all satisfied in what we have instead of craving for more and more, a lot of problems would be solved.A consumerist capitalistic society looks down on people who are satisfied & content with little. Money can buy stuff, but stuff doesnt necessarily buy bliss. Bliss is what we are all looking for and greed doesn't get us there.An individual or group or nation can be greedy and deprive others of their basic needs. Look at the big corporations, profit is what matters,because of shareholders, ethics doesn't.

As Luther Vandross and Janet Jackson one preached wisely, "The best things in life are free". Money is a cause of many problems, and contributes to greed, selfishness and other negative emotions. Money causes death, suicide, poverty, war etc. If there was no money in the world, i think it wouldn't necessarily a better place, but the people in it would be a hell of a lot nicer.

Its actually BOTH - a solution and a cause for more problems. It depends on how you use it, the character of the person using it and the recipients when it is used. Having more money can solve immediate problems mostly tangible ones but when there's no more tangible needs to satisfy, most of the time, its used for drugs, overspending, splurging, and yes - selfishness. Money also reveals who you are and who your friends are. Because there's a saying that goes - when you have money, alot of people like you. But when you don't have any money, those who are left are your true friends.

Well a dude called Karl Marx proclaimed that capitalism is a flawed way to rule a society..... he thought that once the working classes realise what chumps they have been they will revolt against it..... The haves want more and abuse the have-nots, and the have-not's see what the have's have and they would beg, steel and lie to get it. If there would be no money or capitalism then the world would be a simpler, fairer and more harmonious place for everyone. But I'm afraid it will never happen, man will probably beg steel and lie off of their own planet (which is already happening) and ultimately kill it.

I have seen money change people into someone I no longer know. Then I have seen money not change people and they live no different and you would never be able to tell they had money. I do believe money is the root of all evil and that it has made people lazy and take things for granted, unless you are poor and desperate which then leads to crime because the poor have nothing to lose. Desperation causes people to do what they must to survive.

No Nikkayla, money is not the cause of all problems, for it is the LOVE of money that is the ROOT of all evil: which while some coveted (desire enviously) after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

If you drive through a mud puttle (dirt and water) you need to use soap and water to wash the mud off. Money is neither the cause nor solution of money related problems. But the cause and solution both relvove around money.

before there were cities with monetary exchanges, poverty on this planet was rare. people either lived in communal settings or foraged for food (or a mixture of both). they may have not had much, but they weren't destitute. only when the human population began to grow rapidly as a result of totalitarian agriculture did poverty and famine begin to appear regularly.
