MONEY

[Shadowfox]

People,
what do you think about money?
Money is created by the human. Money is essential for living in this world. Money is the link between the Civilisation and Mother Nature.

Have you ever thought of a world without money - without the material people have been dependend for so many centuries? What will the world look-like when money is powerless, when it has no value?

What do you think?

P.S. About the poll - I have made a mistake - instead of "did" it is "have"

[Kovur]

Without money and without people. It's my variant.

[mash]

Money operates the world

[deadkitten]

There is no society without money, if we use the word "money" as a generalisation of "some exchange equivalent".

[Hunter]

Hate to say it, but a world without money would be a world without peace. Worse then we are now.

I think that world without money is possible.Mabye not here,but it's possible.Some civilisations can live without them unside it
Human civilisation needs an "exchange equvalent".If there wasn't money,it would be some other things
Unfortinately,it's true.

Money is the source of all of humanity's discomfort, and the love of it is the root of all evil. Much the US currency when folded in the correct way will reveal images of recent tragic events. I assume that was meant to be.

Money should serve as a tool of trade, but rather it is used as a tool of power. And from my experience -- power corrupts.

[Kyle]

Yes,you are right.

The society without _that_ money(like humans have) is very possible.Well,I think,that only humans have made an object for pray from them X))

Agree 100% i think so too

In the begining it was dicker (exchange market - don't know how to name it) money is not so bad. Love to money is wrong. The problem doesn't exist in money but in people... :/

[Hunter]

It's true. I hate to put down my own country, but Americans are greedy. Very greedy. Without money, America would collaps.

[Shadowfox]

What makes Americans greedy in your opinion - I haven't been to America so I do not know...

[The Dishwasher]

Now, as an Economics and Management student, I have to say something!
Money (not just the paper and credit that we're used to) is necessary for the developed world that has been created by us, to allow trade. In less developed, simpler economies, barter can work, however, there are problems of divisibility and valuation.
I agree with apolonia and Hunter: there is nothing wrong with money per se, but rather with the place it takes in our society, which is down to people's interpretations of what it means to them.

[The Sonic God]

When economists say that greed is a good thing: they are wrong.

Greed causes corruption to the wealthy, and poverty to the incompetent, and increases debt to the ignorant.

The more you want, the more is taken from you.

America sucks. I hate it here. Everything is about money...
