يدور حول نفسه
"...يقولون أن النقود تجعل العالم يدور حول نفسه"
This is more of a localized translation than exact; "go round" could be just translated to "يدور" without the rest, but in order to match it to something that would be said in the Arab world, "يدور حول نفسه" would fit better in my opinion.

Now that I think about it again, it might have a different meaning, whereas "the world" here would refer to THINGS that money can change or control; in this case it could be translated to something simple as:
"يقولون أن النقود تغير الأحوال/الأشياء، ولكن هل ستحدد أيضاً هوية الرئيس الأمريكي القادم؟"
