They want influence and respect and they perceive that those with money have influence and respect, therefor they seek money out for the power they desire to have. The representation of money in Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” concisely…

grocery store since its debut in Tennessee back in 1916 (Piggly Wiggly, 2011). Clarence Saunders, the founder of Piggly Wiggly, developed a grocery store that was considered to be self sufficient and was considered the “first” for many of the things that patrons consider norms at any given grocery store now days.

I asked several people the question “what is money?” and the responses I got were all very different. Several people gave the obligatory “cash” answer I was expecting, but some answers were more insightful than others. My waiter at a local restaurant, Michael Sovik, eloquently answered, “Money is paper currency with value backed by the U.S. government”. He then went on to say that he didn’t really understand how we are able to do that, and when asked about the derivative market he stated he had…
