what would the world be like without money?

Answer 1

People would exchange their skills to pay each other..... You make my bread, and I'll fix the roof, soft of thing!

Some people feel there would be fewer Wars and Violence, since greed of accumulating would be eliminated....... I have doubts though.... if you don't have the skills, but have the need and the strength, then peopl would just TAKE from others!!!

Interesting Question to think about though!!!

Answer 2

World would be evil free and everything will be free?. Can I think of sleeping with Jennifer Lopez for free?. Or I think that I will not have greed for having the best things in life?.

World without money would have been either more confusing or more simpler, depending on what other system man would have invented to substitute the need for trading with money.

Is the 'money' value of things prompting me to own all such things like a BMW, Benz or rolls royce and a palatial house in an upper town?. Is my greed of beutiful chicks is related to the 'money' value that I attribute to them. Do I really need cash?. Do I really bother about those paper notes?. Do I work for those paper notes. Even if have bags of those paper notes, can I flaunt them?. I can flaunt the things that I buy with the money, right?. So, money is only transfer medium. It does not create evil. We associate greed, evil, etc, with money. But real greed is for something else.

Answer 3

There are ONLY two possibility; either the world would turn to be HEAVEN and if not then it would be a HELL. Money is just a tool for a system which was create to help man kind to barter or exchange their expertise or skill or product. In other word without MONEY mankind can still exchange their skill with a skill or product with a product as long as there is a mutual understanding in fixing the value or quality of such exchange/barter. The real answer is not a MONEY as MONEY is represent the GOLD or ARUM which was used to fixed the VALUE of the MONEY but how mankind measured the MONEY is how mankind threat each other in getting what they want from one to another through BARTER or EXCHANGE system which known to us as SELLING and BUYING. The bigger problem is MONEY is not only limited for MANKIND in TRADING purposes but it also been used as Evils tools for hiring and paying and EXPERTISE of human being to destroy a MANKIND.

Answer 4

a world without money need not be so bad,
yes barter or swapping would be a workable way. I can say that there are small communities of people throuout the world who lead a more alternative/holistic lifestyle who minimize money use by swapping or donating skills and trades.
example.. a joiner may swap 3 hours of his/her time/skill for 3 hours of gardening etc etc it seems to work well as tey are pretty much self sufficient. money use is kept to a minimum.
many civilisations survived thousands of years without cash.. some minor tribes still do

Answer 5

to do ith it.In jungles around the world so called lost tribes are still being discovered,thy barter for goods that they need.They seem to get on OK with this system and i suppose the rest of us would
if it came down to it

Answer 6

it would be wonderful. then we could go back in time like the little house on the perie. trade eggs and cows and live in piece from the government because without money the government doesn't want anything to do with us. i wish the root of all evil was gone, i pray for it daily. I'm ready to stake me some land and raise a farm and work on it everyday.id love to live by fireplace or candle light no more power bills, my food wouldn't be tainted, oh how i wish money didn't exist

Answer 7

Anarchy

You would have to barter for everything and anything you wanted or needed, so consider the implications of wanting or needing something and only having what you "stand up in" as your barter.

Would you / could you offer ANYTHING to get what you wanted or needed?

NO?

Well imagine you have a starving or ill baby and you needed food or medicine to keep them alive?

Now it is starting to become a lot more difficult to say NO

Answer 8

if we didnt have money we would make another way of paying and buying for example trading like the old days.
you see even if we didnt have "money" we would still be charged to buy things. :)

Answer 9

There will always be a currency system, if there is no money then people will barter/swap goods.

Answer 10

world without money would be so sophisticated! there will be no single mean of trade. On the other hand, there will be less violence -- less evil. Money is the root of all evil.
