What if money didn't exist?
Would a money-less world work?
Human nature being what it is, the chance of it succeeding is low. We would have to start now to heal the attitudes of the entire world population. We could be looking at a period of 100 years of education and counselling before it would make sense to begin. In any case, the effort would have to be given top priority just to get everybody used to the idea. Perhaps it could be done more quickly.
We already have democracy and excellent communications, and people are starting to see cooperation as a preferred alternative to force. Automation is making manual labour obsolete, so our ability to produce goods is well established. There may also be an opportunity to take advantage of any forthcoming Mars settlement plans as a venue for some preliminary study.
There you have a money-less world in a nutshell. The idea holds great promise - but then there's the problem of reality! This is my dream! I can't trust myself to analyze it objectively, so I'm looking for convincing studies demonstrating that a money-less world is not possible.
