Is money the root of all evil?
It could be argued that we have an increasing attachment to material wealth, and some people may do all within their power to gain and retain wealth. This question explores the relationship between money and unethical behaviour. It invites us to consider whether the former is the sole and principal cause of the latter.

While money may facilitate and even be a driving factor behind the realisation of unethical acts, it is in no way the principal cause. What is telling is the attitude towards money that the individual, who hopes to attain money, has.
