Money is not the problem . It is the greedy egotistical control freaks who've made the rules of the world .

a world without money wouldn't be better. most would say yes, no more greed, no more squablings for money, but in truth, the world would be harder. money is used to purchase things. back then, if someonw wanted to buy a cow for example, and that person grew corn, they would have to trade a cow's worth of corn. there would be disagreements on how it should be equaled and stuff. so even though money is really an evil thing, it helps us live in partial, if any, harmony.

i think the world would be rubble. if you think about, without money, there would be no orginization. epople would take as much food from the store as they want, people wouldnt bother working, so nothing would get done. money is the basis of most countries.

Even if you de-invent money, you still need some type of currency that is exchangeable , assignable and legal tender

nope

There would still be some system of exchange. Each person has skills in which they can engage in exchange but no one has it all. For merchandise and skills to be exchanged there needs to be some marker of perceived value.

it would be the same because if we didn't have money we would call it something else.

There would still be jealousy over the corn grown or the woman purchased. Greed doesn't just happen in MONEY$!
