I think it makes more sense to say that money is the great filter that's threatening us right now. It's the root of all evil, after all.
Money is just paper. Now it's just bits on a disk.
The human need to acquire I think is the problem.
So you don't think money is power, and your don't think information is power either. What is?
They are saying it is more general than money or information, that those are power but those specifically are not special. If we had a society without money, something else would occupy the same purpose of the psychological need of humans "to get more" to be on top.
They aren't saying "money isn't important to that", they are saying "money isn't important to that".
