CMV: The most moral thing one can do is to accumulate money and power, and to use them to shape the world in her/his vision

Let's say I have a moral vision of the world, an idea of how it can be a better place. For a running example, we can take a person who believes the future of this world depends on the education of our children. I argue that the best way to achieve that goal is not by directly working at it, e.g. by working as a small town librarian, but by gaining money, power and influence, and directing the resources we accumulated to make the world as we want it to be.

The small town librarian might be the best in their job, and be an inspiring teacher that the children will remember for the rest of their lives. But even the best librarian needs food, a place to sleep, a library, perhaps a computer or two, and supporting administrative staff. Even if they had all of that, they are a single librarian, and can only help several children at a time. The power accumulating person, however, can use their influence to pay the salary of many librarians who just do their job well, and who don't have a strong moral vision for the world. Even if they are all mediocre at their jobs, their quantity and financial support would make their contribution to youth education much greater than the single idealistic librarian. Being the person in the field who comes every day and does the hard work is admirable, but it can't be done without minimal financial support. On the other hand, financial incentives can change the world, even if the workers are only doing their job to get their paycheck. 

There are people who can excel in the field that they believe is making the most difference, and who also cannot accumulate money in any other way. For those people, working directly to change the world really is the best approach. But for everyone else who can in fact earn more money outside the field they believe in, earning and investing this money is more moral than being the person working day to day.

The problem with your view is that it is not based on an understanding of true morality.

Morality comes from the inside out.  It is based on an internal compass and the pull of conscience — the wish to benefit others.

Wanting to shape the world in your own fixed image of what is right is, essentially, an act of aggression.  The most moral thing you can do instead is to see people as they are and work to benefit them — in the highest sense help them or inspire them to find their own internal moral vision.  

This is why it is people like Gandhi and Martin Luther King and Mother Theresa who are viewed as great moral leaders rather than people like the Koch Brothers or George Soros. 

EDIT:  It is not it that people with money can’t help — but they are generally the servants of people with true moral vision.
