"If everything was free, everyone would stop working and become lazy!" "Would you?" "Of course not! I would want to stay productive and feel useful."
Turns out: most people want to feel like they matter, even if they don't have to worry about money.
That won't change in the future. For example when replicators can cheaply produce everything anyone needs at will and factories and transportships are a thing of the past.
"Yeah, but abolishing money would never work because without money the world wide economy would collapse and everyone would starve!" So, everyone who lived before the advent of money, some 2600 years ago was basically dead?
Indiginous people who live without money, research shows, are often just as happy or unhappy as people who live with a lot of money, like you and I.
Indiginous people today (just like our ancestors from a few thousand years ago) work, they live, they laugh, they suffer hardship and create memories. So, do all the things we do to create more wealth for our bosses and ourselves really make us happy?
