Is money unnecessary?

[Whiskas]

If I remember my high school history correctly, a rudimentary money system came into existence when trade went beyond community scale.

I cannot think of a more efficient way to replace the modern money system. But I acknowledge there is a strong inherited bias and unfair advantage to those who control the money system.

There as always been forms of payment or trade. As the individuals have less natural things to trade i.e. Animals plants and in some cases physical labor, society uses a monetary system that can be controlled. If you were a carpenter and your friend was a builder or fisherman you could trade with each other without any form of monetary payment. In theory it could still work. But it would take a mental reprogramming of a large part of our society and with out dependence on nonsense people would be left out. We should ask each other what could we bring to this society if none of us had money? I can farm and fish. Maybe even teach lessons. That should be enough to provide me with food and shelter. What about you?

Trading or bartering is one aspect, but there is also the giving factor that we're not really addressing. We can trade resource for resource and we can also freely give our resources for results. I'm not talking about depleting yourself but if someone doesn't have something to trade, it's our duty to give for free.

 

[NeighborhoodNomad]

And for everyone saying a barter-gift system won't work on a large scale please consider the fact that it already does work on a large scale because all matter trades resource for resource or freely gives resource for results naturally. Us as human beings are the only things who go out of our way to trade a non resource for a resource.
