I’m sure most people would agree with you. However I think your analysis is a bit shallow. In truth Money has the moral integrity of a handful of bandages…none what so ever.
It is what one can do with those bandages and money that is the issue.
The increasing issue is amorality of uncontrolled capitalism and its hand ‘maidens’ (sic) (whores) that seed the public with self doubts that can only be mollified by consumerism. I suggest you read “Afluenza’. For a view of tactics read Naomi Klien's book "no brand"
E.g. Price is NOT necessarily an indication of quality. Its all to do with margines. See the Coke test.
We are conned by advertising to confuse ‘wants with needs’ and one this is achieved the path to consumerism and debt is cleared. The losers ane inevitably the people. Yet again victims/slaves to inanimate creation (s) (tools), capitalism, consumerism, debt and corporatism.
