Do you think the world would be better without money?

I watched star trek and they said they use no money in their society and that made poverty go away. I think having no money would help technology go faster and better. I think it would be better for the world.

Going to strip clubs just wouldn't feel the same.

Then how would I feel rich??Darthkaiser

Humanity would just find something else to barter.

I think the world would be better without humanity.

We would always barter some way or another, money is just the easiest medium.

For poor people maybe.

Simply put...it's not possible

Of course it would. If it is, piracy is no longer a problem.

First step is getting away from oil not money..Get rid of the oil problem first than work on the money situation..Hitler may have been a total looser..How ever he was a smart dude..He got his country away from gold..It was a cash cow, it was unreal how much money germany had..Im not sure if the country is still the same way..All i know is America needs a fix..Even the world is having problems look at greece..Its a sad sad situation really..Things need to change for the world..

Nah, money is a fantastic motivator so we'd get nothing done.AirGuitarist87

Money allows huge populations of people to be exploited by privatized banking. For example.. I go to work, I want to get paid but for me to get paid I have to bring my check to a bank.. the bank will cash my check but only if I pay them a fee, or open an account with the bank. It is not longer a service.. the only way I can obtain what I believe I worked for is by paying somebody to pay me or giving them my business guarenteing them constant cash flow.

It's a joke. All this does is prevent me from investing my time and resources into something more productive because we have all these third party entities exploiting us.

You obviously know nothing about economics. This is an extreme form of communism and would simply not work.gamebreakerz__

Our world would cease to exist.

The world needs money. I just think the world would be a bit better if some people weren't so out of pocket.

I will think the world will be worse, because there might be fights happening, and without money, we may not live in peace.

"I'll trade you 3 sheep, two cows, and 8 pounds of salt for a Playstation 3"

Nah I'm sure we would use something else as currency like back in the old days. And I think I'd prefer carrying money than chickens...

Certainly in a world with limitless resources/supply, there is no need for money. But we don't live in one of those.

People wouldn't really have incentive to do anything...

idk about there being no money, but i think it would be better if people actually used cash. there's some people that never even touch cash, all they use is their credit/debit card.
