bartering...have you heard about the barter system...when money was not yet invented...i%26#039;ll buy tomatoes from you and i%26#039;ll pay you with onions......
Reply:Even before money there has always been a system of trading based on values. I may trade you one of my chickens for one of your animal skins. Whether it is a barter (trading) system or shells and beads, there has always been a way to value the things that you have against the things that you want.
Reply:I think we%26#039;ll go back to the barter system, and the world will be a happier place to live... :)
Reply:Freedom. Money makes slaves out of everyone. The most powerful drug out there.
Reply:Money is a highly ritualized symbol of exchange. Where such ritual promises a supply of X for a supply of Y (the value for each of X and Y vary according to scarcity and demand). At one point in history, often located at or on the boundary between groups of inter-related individuals, %26quot;shrines%26quot; were erected and then visited first by one group and then by another. With each group depositing items valued by the other at said location. Mysteriously, the items would disappear. To answer the question directly, however, there cannot be a world without some form of a medium of exchange as the resources individuals need (for survival) or desire are unequally distributed.
Reply:Swapping or trading might be the way of a no money world
Reply:One really doesn%26#039;t need to imagine much because we have some pre-money human archeology. It%26#039;s called the Stone Age.





As soon as anything called Civilization occurs, money is present.





Bottom line. No money = No Civilization. Humans are roving tribes of hunter-gathers.





There is no %26#039;Star Trek%26#039; without money, because you can%26#039;t build a ship, much less a space ship if you have to barter for all the parts.





There are no tech collectives or corporations without money. So you can kiss goodbye ANYTHING you own that has a corporate label on it. Like Sony, Ford, Levi, Toyota, Haynes, Westinghouse, Edison, Tampex 鈥︹€?br>




Is the horror seeping through yet kiddies?





If not, why don%26#039;t you tell me how your mom%26#039;s going to pay the plumber?
Reply:Everyone on Earth will be miserable.





The barter system is back breaking. Imagine taking 50 Kilogram of one item to exchange for 10KG of another item.


Imagine your employer paying you 10000KG of apples. Imagine taking 500 goats to IRS to pay taxes.





Money is invented for a good reason.





PS: If Money is the root of all evil, then religious group that take your money is the most evil institution on Earth.

It would be wrong, to conclude that we should condemns money itself or any of its basic uses. Money provides a practical defense against poverty and its attendant troubles, enabling people to procure necessities. Bartering was made easier this way. How would you like to carry your corn everywhere you went?





Rather It may be money, status, power, or related things. It is possible to be greedy for anything that can be acquired. The idea is that having that thing will make us content. Money has become like that to many.





What will happen you ask? We will start again by examining people%26#039;s attitude--I doubt it will change much of anything -many people will still be greedy, search for status or power, act selfishly-looking for a happiness they will never truly find. Or act like they found it.





Some people know what is really important. Not only know it but live it to bring what is more important and truly satisfying into their lives. Rather money is there or not. That will not change. But that is a hard task for many.





They only thing that will change that I see - might be you have to carry a bigger load around.
