What would happen if there was no money in the world? ? -

What would that be like? What would I do if I didn t have to earn money to survive? |::::|we would find something else to use as money. The barter system would be used|::::|The world would be unbalanced, we would have no jobs, and the human race and economy would not be advanced at all compared to how advanced we are today. If there is no money, there are no jobs, and what to jobs do? For example, if there is no shoe-maker, people will have no shoes. If there is no builder, there will be no buildings. People would have to work for themselves. No money existing is worse than having the economy that we have now. Thank the stone guys who made money.|::::|Before there was a conceptualized currency, people used the barter system to gain things they needed but couldn t make or find themselves. People who raised chickens might barter eggs for milk from the guy with the cow down the road. Someone who had a talent for woodworking might barter a table for some quantity of feed for his livestock (how much, depending on the quality of wood and his work, perhaps). Someone sick might barter an armload of the nice beeswax candles for treatment and medicine from someone trained as a herbalist and healer. quot;Moneyquot; simply abstracted the concept into a consistent mechanism of exchange.|::::|no one would go to work and look for things to get in the store without money - which means the people who usually make all those nice things are also not working and looking for things - so there wouldn t be anything to buy - no food either , and no lumber to build houses and so on . |::::|You would have to hunt your own meat, raise your own crop, defend your own land, build your own shelter. You would have to do a lot of stuff for yourself, and i imagine a lot of trading would be done. Basically like the olden days, way way olden. |::::|What would you do? Well hmm ok heres what id do in that situation, you can draw your conclusions for yourself. I would go out and hunt for food. Or fish. Same applies to beverages.|::::|everything would be good....alot of divorces wouldn t be happening....law suits wouldn t be happening...friends would still be cool...etc. everything would be all good|::::|Well think about it, Everyone would be sharing things, it will be like Christmas allll year round!! without the pedo-santa. And no-one will have money to buy nukes, no nukes=peace. |::::|We would all be equal. Rich or Poor would no longer exist! No money no power therefore rich people would have no power over nothing anymore!|::::|u d b lazy in other words, r u saying what if everything was free?? wow, that would b good...everyone would b quot;richquot;|::::|Become self-sufficient or learn to trade something valuable for goods and services you cannot get or do yourself.|::::|It would be crazy, but i have always wondered the same thing too! Everything would be like free, and out of contoll!|::::|I would have to trade fruits and other goods to get 30 mins with the local prostitute down the street.|::::|it would be.. like who ever gets their first gets whatever. if everything was free people would have to fight over what they need. they would be going crazy|::::|John Lennon would be reincarnated.|::::|Imagine....|::::|That would be impossible. To live in a society with no form of currency would be...awful. Nothing would get done, hence we d run out of food/supplies.|::::|we would trade goods. just like they did in colonial america before we had a specific currency|::::|People would fight and be greedy over other stuff.|::::|anarchy|::::|We would be obese and the human race would be gone after a year.
