What I get out of these images is that the publication being advertised is concerned with the broader issues behind the economics. The ads don't seem to be overtly attacking anything besides possibly other periodicals.

People quote this wrong all the time, and it annoys the fuck out of me. Three important words are missing.

Money itself is neither evil or good.

But if there is no money then there is no love of money?

Trading goats for wheat is the root of all evil.

Think about this logically now.

If the love of money is the root of all evil, then, by definition, money is the root of all evil.

All evil is derived from the love of money and one cannot love money without money being involved in the equation.

People are too dumb to understand the time value of money. Everyone should be required to take a basic econ/finance course.

um, no?
by definition, love of money is the root of evil.
That money in your pocket( I know, but for the sake of argument pretend that there is some) is not evil. That's like saying guns are evil because they are used to kill people. You can't assign good or evil to an object. It's all about the person and their intentions or motives concerning the object.

If Bill Gates gave away two billion dollars to feed kids in Africa, are you telling me that two billion is evil?
