<Blunderov chips in tangentially>
It is possible to imagine a future that doesn't have money - what if
that big rock comes hammering in from the asteroid belt and wipes out
most of what we know? Probably back to barter for those that remain.
My brother once tried to set up a network with the object of avoiding
taxes - a dentist would do some work for a plunber (eg) and the plumber
would fix his faucets in return and so forth. Don't the Quakers and
other similar groups do this?
Still, I confess, money is not likely to disappear anytime soon - it's
just too convenient.
Odd ball factoid: Zimbabwe is in the awkward position of not having
enough foreign reserves to be able to afford to import the paper that
they need to print their own currency.
Weird scenes inside the goldmine.
Best regards

Athenorex argument seems to be drawn from the premise that men would not
be selfish anymore, if he just had some "conditioning". (This is what I
perceive from volunteering economy). That's obviously a false
premise(Dawkins, The Selfish Gene) and any argument from here would
therefore be false.
Unfortunately.
