Does money corrupt, or is money attractive to questionable people? - Lemmy.World

I was gonna include a third option about how money is easier to achieve without considering the morality of your actions but that’s not really a philosophy as much as it is an objective fact.

I don’t think money itself corrupts, but power does and power comes with money. Im currently reading a book “Human Kind” that argues that people are generally pretty decent, but that even a little bit of power almost always starts changing people’s behaviour, affecting their empathy, etc.
Personally, I hate having power over others or being in a position of authority. I even feel weird telling my own children what to do.
