Money: Good or Bad?
Money is considered one of the greatest inventions to liberate man,and as a means it has a good function.Don't you think that eliminating the use of money will lead to another barbarous world? What in your vision can be substituted for money in the world at large?
Money is certainly one of the greatest inventions of man, and it has helped tremendously in the past. But there is a negative side of it too: money has created poverty and richness, the classes and the class strugle; money has created communism.Money has helped in many ways in the exchange of things- as a means of exchange- but now its function can be taken by better means which can avoid its negative part.
for example, in my perspective, instead of money as currency,every society should become a commune. We can make a limit, five thousand or ten thousand...if the town is bigger then it can have two communes, three communes. But instead of a family, a commune takes over. The commune takes care of the children, the commune fulfils the need of people,and the people don't have to use money. Whatever they need, the commune fulfils the needs. Money can be used between one commune and another as a means of exchange,but not between individuals. That will destroy the distinction between the poor and the rich. And instead of currency... which is something ugly because it moves through so many hands, many of which will be sick people suffering from diseases and infecting the notes. Perhaps this is one of the cause of many infections spreading into the world. Instead of currency each commune should use credit cards, and those will be used between communes.Computers can manage all the accounts perfectly well
-so nothing has to be really exchanged; the computer can keep the accounts.
