Sigh... listing facts is not imagination. Can you read? I used the word 'imagine' not 'list facts'... How will you live without money... you carefully do not address that. You say that we CAN live without money... but not HOW.... that is whereryour imagination comes in... if you have any.[/quote]
considering that none of these things exists that they are indeed not factual I think I have fairly well encaptulated what it would take for money to not exist. Imagining not living without money is fairly easy I will my make my life vastly inconveint and trade goods for everything.
You either dont understand what money is or you dont understand how a society functions. "Money" boils down to being a place holder, I give you corn you give me "money" and then I go exchange it for something else. Lets assume your 90000 thousand years of a money less society (this I actually doubt as a trousim because we were using resources things like flint ect which can very eaisly act as "money" (see above)) the people of those societies intuitivly recognize econmic value. Econmic Value is really what your talking about (if its not you really dont understand money) and has been with us since the beginig of coperation. Basically what I am telling you is that to imagine a world without money is like imagineing pink elephants you can do it, its just naive and about as worthwhile as childrens daydreams
