Every now and then the system is caught by surprise by a person who really understands how the system works. They'll really have the balls and go out and make some changes, but that's provided with 3 reasons:
1) Knowledge-Your reasoning and sense of justice HAS to be backed with a sense of history and you must know what you are talking about. Not an idea or what people say; "yeah, I know that"
YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT.
2) TIMING-is everything. The one thing that gave people the power to make a difference in justice (Martin Luther King, Thurgood Marshall, Adam Clayton Powell) was timing. They struck at the right moment when a change was needed and took every advantage to make changes in the justice system.
3) GUTS-if you don't have it, it's not going to work.
Alas money does win over many things and we assume it's the rule, but as long as we are motivated by our common sense, reasoning, and education, money in the end will never be one nation under a dollar...
...so long as you know that it's YOU that gives money power.

Justice will always be more important than money. However, it will never be as popular as money.
Sometimes justice will prevail, but money has great power & will often be able to decide an outcome (whether just or not). However, we can't allow money (no matter how powerful) to be all-controlling. There must be a place for justice & conscience, and sometimes decisions have to be made based on what's right instead of just what's most profitable.

Hopefully. A spiritual evolution will have to happen first. It may take generations, but eventually people will realize that living for money leaves you with nothing but emptyness. It always takes generations for change to effect a majority of people and become the norm. Look at how long it took people to realize that slavery is wrong! It seems obvious now, but it was a commonplace thing for ages and ages before change happened.

Never will justice be more important than money. we live in a superficial society where we are judged on our appearance and not our knowledge. Maybe in more sophisticated nations it may be.

No really without money I don't think a lot of things would be made. ANd probaly without money a lot of people would not be famous.

Not in our life time. But justice (that poor blind *****) does triumph every once in a while. We have to believe that or we will go crazy(er)
