Imagine a World without Money

Great_One SG

Do you think it would be possible ? Something like Star Trek's New World Economy.

Let us say there is a country where trade does not exist internally. Everything is provided for you by the government. Your lodging, transport, food, daily necessity etc etc. Free education for all, medical etc etc. Imagine goto a place to eat and when you are done just leave. Haha.

Will it be possible ?

T E M P O SG

it won't be possible.

It'd be good, no more wealth, everybody's equal and stuff.

but the cons is that, should the government be one whose selfish and corrupted, that's it for the people. And also that it'd mean the people are not up to challenges if they go to the outside world.

Great_One SG

Yup I agree. For this to really work you need a government that is honest and efficient.

Don't know how we are going to achieve that though. Haha

cloud210 SG

dkmagician SG

Poh Ah Pak SG

Everything is provided for you by the government.

No good lah, if you oppose the regime, they will cut off supplies.

Then how?

<Precious> SG

People will just not content themselves with this system. Probably resort to barter trading or something....... Laughing

will not be possible.
too much tumoils will occur.

the entire financial world is make up of nothing but sh!t, lies and big big conspiricy.
money is simply just a piece of paper, if u ever realise. but how does it materialise? due to us, we, people who recognise the value of the paper.
people are willing to exchange our sweat and effort for pieces of it.

the day that money will not exist is when the entire world see money as pieces of no-value paper. which will only appear in dreams.
