I was gonna include a third option about how money is easier to achieve without considering the morality of your actions but that’s not really a philosophy as much as it is an objective fact.

    Anything in where there is a motive for competition, will attract questionable people, especially if competition would not benefit the general populace.

    Money creates competition by having something to rank others by. How much they earn or own. Whoever creates the source of wealth, has the power to hoard it.

    It is thus necessary, that for example landowners should be unable to monetise their land; instead, what they produce, should be a public good for everyone.
