Would the world be a better place without money?

I dont think it would ever work. It would be chaos. For example, why would people work for a power company to provide power for people if they didnt get paid in returnEvz0rz

Because since they work, they get everything for free, so they wouldn't need money.

Sounds like perfect communism to me, but of course it'll never work because some people will be greedy and want more than others.CJL182

I agree, but I'll still continue to live in my happy little hippie world. John Lennon lives across the street from me...

But if they get everything for free, why would they even work in the first place? The world would just fall apart.

exactly..the morale would turn to "why am I doing deeds for this guy when he doesnt have to do anything?"

Bollocks than no one would work just because they didn't get paid.

Appart from that I'd have to say money isn't the problem. The world would be a better place without greed. ;)

with humans? i dont think so.

Yes it would be a better place, but capitalism without flaws would also be a better world

And people here need to realize that we're assuming the implementation went perfectly, so stop arguing that we'll never get it to work.

I have read somewhere the suggestion that all of the problems of human social classes started with farming and irrigation since that is ostensibly when people stopped being hunters and gatherers and thereby stopped being "equals."

Kind of an odd view, but I suppose it is not entirely without merit.
