I was gonna include a third option about how money is easier to achieve without considering the morality of your actions but that’s not really a philosophy as much as it is an objective fact.

Most things emerge from complex systems.

“A causes B” or “B causes A” sounds tidy, but obscures the reality.

Even in a complex system, though, if something doesn’t happen continuously it’s bound to have characteristic conditions that precede it. Describing it as cause and effect is a function of language, then.
