With no money, there's no reason for anyone to work.
No one would make the supplies, because hey, their working and you're not.
No one would produce food.
Everyone would die.
Yeah, plus it would cause an unbalance in the world and people would just take things and eventually nothing would be left for anyone. There is a reason for currency, it's been in human life for ever, either it be trading or actual currency. It's a balance in our life that we need.

Exactly what I said. Just because people millions of years ago did things for themselves does not mean we could now. Show me how to farm, how to make weapons, have no way to communicate with people far away.

We are pretty much advanced in making tools now, also we can communicate now.
But yeah, there will always be a currency to pay with, no matter what. People would want to get 'paid' for what they do.

We aren't really advanced in making tools.. I doubt every member on this forum would be able to pick up a rock, find a strong bunch of sticks, and find something to tie them together and use it as a hatchet, club, or knife.
We have lost our "natural survival instinct" in some ways.

If you can have what ever you want, people will be getting terrorist weapons.
RE: A world without money - Burak - 06-27-2013
What if there were no weapons, no guns.

Then I'd go around being an asshole to everyone, since I know I won't die from like 50 yards away.

Same, throw a stone at 'em. Run for your life.

Also, if there was no currency at all, does that mean I can have unlimited hookers?
