It is an interesting concept as most of the people in the world seem to have ONLY one thing in mind: work to pay the bills! If everything would became free I be live we would became lazy (maybe), unmotivated, and we wouldn't know what to do with ourselves.

If everything was free, there would be no motivation to work. there would be no doctors or scientists or anything, because doing labor is pointless if everything is already free.

Also think of it this way, ALL things are owned. Food at a market, owned by the owner. He exchanges that food for money, which he then exchanges for employees, and his own needs, like furniture and clothing, ect. EVERYTHING is OWNED. Your situation is basically legalizing theft.

it would create a major havoc in this world... the entire social political economical structure would have to change. our lives would be like those of humans before the agrarian revolotion of about 15,000 years ago where people started to OWN things and so needed to protect them and to fight in order to take them from others.
if things just grew and you could take them at will, u'd be totally bored and need to find some sort of stimulus to keep your brain working.
or if it's first come first served, people might fight to get to the front of the line...

Total chaos. The strongest would survive. Greed would take over common sense. It would be anarchy.
