Throughout
men
’
s
history
,
money
was
always
seized
by
looters
of
one
brand
or
another
,
whose
names
changed
,
but
whose
method
remained
the
same
:
to
seize
wealth
by
force
and
to
keep
the
producers
bound
,
demeaned
,
defamed
,
deprived
of
honor
.
That
phrase
about
the
evil
of
money
,
which
you
mouth
with
such
righteous
recklessness
,
comes
from
a
time
when
wealth
was
produced
by
the
labor
of
slaves
—
slaves
who
repeated
the
motions
once
discovered
by
somebody
’
s
mind
and
left
unimproved
for
centuries
.
So
long
as
production
was
ruled
by
force
,
and
wealth
was
obtained
by
conquest
,
there
was
little
to
conquer
.
Yet
through
all
the
centuries
of
stagnation
and
starvation
,
men
exalted
the
looters
,
as
aristocrats
of
the
sword
,
as
aristocrats
of
birth
,
as
aristocrats
of
the
bureau
,
and
despised
the
producers
,
as
slaves
,
as
traders
,
as
shopkeepers
—
as
industrialists
.
"
To
the
glory
of
mankind
,
there
was
,
for
the
first
and
only
time
in
history
,
a
country
of
money
—
and
I
have
no
higher
,
more
reverent
tribute
to
pay
to
America
,
for
this
means
:
a
country
of
reason
,
justice
,
freedom
,
production
,
achievement
.
For
the
first
time
,
man
’
s
mind
and
money
were
set
free
,
and
there
were
no
fortunes
-
by
-
conquest
,
but
only
fortunes
-
by
-
work
,
and
instead
of
swordsmen
and
slaves
,
there
appeared
the
real
maker
of
wealth
,
the
greatest
worker
,
the
highest
type
of
human
being
—
the
self
-
made
man
—
the
American
industrialist
.
"
If
you
ask
me
to
name
the
proudest
distinction
of
Americans
,
I
would
choose
—
because
it
contains
all
the
others
—
the
fact
that
they
were
the
people
who
created
the
phrase
‘
to
make
money
.
’
No
other
language
or
nation
had
ever
used
these
words
before
;
men
had
always
thought
of
wealth
as
a
static
quantity
—
to
be
seized
,
begged
,
inherited
,
shared
,
looted
or
obtained
as
a
favor
.
Americans
were
the
first
to
understand
that
wealth
has
to
be
created
.
The
words
‘
to
make
money
’
hold
the
essence
of
human
morality
.
"
Yet
these
were
the
words
for
which
Americans
were
denounced
by
the
rotted
cultures
of
the
looters
’
continents
.
Now
the
looters
’
credo
has
brought
you
to
regard
your
proudest
achievements
as
a
hallmark
of
shame
,
your
prosperity
as
guilt
,
your
greatest
men
,
the
industrialists
,
as
blackguards
,
and
your
magnificent
factories
as
the
product
and
property
of
muscular
labor
,
the
labor
of
whip
-
driven
slaves
,
like
the
pyramids
of
Egypt
.
The
rotter
who
simpers
that
he
sees
no
difference
between
the
power
of
the
dollar
and
the
power
of
the
whip
,
ought
to
learn
the
difference
on
his
own
hide
—
as
,
I
think
,
he
will
.
"
Until
and
unless
you
discover
that
money
is
the
root
of
all
good
,
you
ask
for
your
own
destruction
.
When
money
ceases
to
be
the
tool
by
which
men
deal
with
one
another
,
then
men
become
the
tools
of
men
.
Blood
,
whips
and
guns
—
or
dollars
.
Take
your
choice
—
there
is
no
other
—
and
your
time
is
running
out
.

Francisco
had
not
glanced
at
Rearden
once
while
speaking
;
but
the
moment
he
finished
,
his
eyes
went
straight
to
Rearden
’
s
face
.
Rearden
stood
motionless
,
seeing
nothing
but
Francisco
d
’
Anconia
across
the
moving
figures
and
angry
voices
between
them
.
There
were
people
who
had
listened
,
but
now
hurried
away
,
and
people
who
said
,
"
It
’
s
horrible
!
"
—
"
It
’
s
not
true
!
"
—
"
How
vicious
and
selfish
!
"
—
saying
it
loudly
and
guardedly
at
once
,
as
if
wishing
that
their
neighbors
would
hear
them
,
but
hoping
that
Francisco
would
not
.
"
Senor
d
’
Anconia
,
"
declared
the
woman
with
the
earrings
,
"
I
don
’
t
agree
with
you
!
"
"
If
you
can
refute
a
single
sentence
I
uttered
,
madame
,
I
shall
hear
it
gratefully
.
