I’d hope that by now everyone understands how a shell game works.
The charlatan has three shells and a pea. He hides the pea under a shell and invites his mark to keep an eye on it. Then he shifts around the shells slowly in a way in which it’s easy to keep track of the shell that supposedly hides the pea. His innocent Mark points to the shell only to be stunned when the pea isn’t there."
“So you think that money is the root of all evil?” said Francisco d’Anconia. “Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can’t exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them.” … “Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?” - Atlas Shrugged
