This is a great reading of the famous speech from the book Atlas Shrugged

Money Is the Root of All Evil? Episode 45 Live | Michael Covel: Trend Following Manifesto

It starts a couple minutes in and it argues with those who think of money as the root off all evil.

If you haven't heard or read this piece of wisdom before on the topic of money, prepare to be enlightened... there is so much good stuff in there. All in perfect alignment with MJs TMF.
