Money is a fascinating technology. To me, the most fascinating. And like any technology it’s not evil, it’s just a tool that can be used for things, good or evil.
The problem is this modern (very American) idea that having money in someway is a sign of human value.
But saying money is evil is as problematic as saying having money is good. It makes it hard to use the technology to solve hard problems, that it’s good at solving, when the technology itself is attributed with those moral judgements.
