If there wasnt money there would just simply be a substitute like Gold, Credits, or any sort of trade. The economy isnt just going to collapse and go away for ever ;)

There's always som form of currency/trading, but in theory, yes the world would be a better place. Simply put - no one would be greedy and people would have better values in life.

It can never happen though.

Also, the only way we wouldn't rely on money/trade or w/e, is if resources were infinite, but sadly, they are scarce and finite, so we gotta use money in order to make sure that we don't run out too quickly.

Money would always exist. It may not be in the form of coins and notes, but a currency of some sort would be used.

If money never existed, humans wouldn't be as intelligent as they are. It shouldn't take thousands of years for someone to have the concept.

Eh? How does greed magically go away when money is no longer there? You would still have people with more than they need, you will always have that. Greed does not directly rely on money.

But without money could we see less pollution? If we would revert back to old america I don't think it would that bad.
