When she was nine, she decided that she would become a fiction writer. However, her schooling was interrupted when the Bolshevik Revolution broke out, and her family moved to Crimea. During this time, her father's pharmacy was confiscated by the Communist party, and her family struggled to make ends meet, faced with starvation.
Rand graduated in 1924, when she decided to attend the State Institute for Cinema Arts, where she studied screenwriting. Then, in 1925, she received permission to leave Soviet Russia to head to the U.S., where she claimed she would be visiting relatives for a short time. However, she had no intention of returning to Russia, and when she arrived in New York City in February 1926, she headed to Chicago for a quick six-month stay with family before moving to Hollywood to become a screenwriter.
Rand later sold her first book, We the Living, which was published in 1936, and considered her most autobiographical work. After that, she began working on The Fountainhead, which was published in 1943, and became a best seller two years later. She later wrote Atlas Shrugged, which turned out to be her last fictional work. After that, she mainly focused on writing and lecturing about her own philosophy: Objectivism.

He makes the statement to explain that money isn't inherently good or evil; it's a tool that can be used for other purposes. It can be used for good—such as by those who use it to produce goods and services—or for evil.
