Before going on to the conclusion on whether the presence of money causes social evils. We will need to consider in mind all the factors that cause social evils.
So what really are social evils? Every society has its own definition but on large scale stealing, murdering, dowry, child abuse, drugs, alcoholism and prostitution are among the most recognized ones. Barring alcoholism, which is only restricted to Muslim nations.
Apart from murdering, alcoholism and drugs, most of the other evils are directly connected to money. And in some cases drugs and murders are also committed due to reasons of money only. For instance acquiring money for murdering and providing or transporting drugs for gaining money.
It remains the major problem of our society where people for gaining small amounts of money commit sins of prostitution, get involved in taking dowry and make their own children work.
So can all this be stopped? Well not really, as far as the class difference will remain, the zeal or lust for money will remain too. And you can't be blaming people for that? Every buddy wishes for a good and successful life and when it comes the easy way in committing the social evils, who would be retreating himself?
The conclusion is, money is of course the mother of all evils, let alone social evils.
