No, Tommy, the title is in error

Either your are being obtuse on purpose or you are very, very slow.

But in the case of the latter, here is a link to the passage in the book that the author of the thread used. You will see that the title, which is the first quote of the "money" speech, is correct as taken from the book.

In case you are unable to navigate a hyperlink, however, I will post the first few lines verbatim from this website.

Rearden heard Bertram Scudder, outside the group, say to a girl who made some sound of indignation, "Don't let him disturb you. You know, money is the root of all evil- and he's the typical product of money." Rearden did not think that Francisco could have heard it, but he saw Francisco turning to them with a gravely courteous smile.

"So you think that money is the root of all evil?" said Francisco d'Aconia. "Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?

Go back to sleep. We'll nudge you if we need some coffeee or something like that.

Perhaps you should try napping? It might prevent these tremendously embarrassing episodes.

Please note: The title is in quotes and the first word of the article is "said". In simpler terms, the title is the question, and the text of the article is the response. Also notice that the "s" in the word "said" is typed in lower case. It also should be noted that the book 'Atlas Shrugged' is a fictional work. If it is still not clear; Please see:
