It is a powerful speech to be sure, but it also contains some of the things I didn't like about the book and her philosophy. For instance - cultist thinking:

>Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper's bell of an approaching looter.

Again and again she exhorts people to feel disgust and hatred for people with different opinions, and to shun them. This is the black&white and us&them thinking common in religious cults.

> To love money is to know and love the fact that money is the creation of the best power within you, and your passkey to trade your effort for the effort of the best among men.

Those I've met who love money the most are those who have experienced deprivation. Money represents safety to them. It has very little to do with the creativity, intelligence or passion in creating. And in fact, since some of them (now I speak in the general sense, not people I know) believe their survival depends on it, they are willing to do all sorts of stuff to get hold of it.
