What bothers me about money is that it's
not directly proportional to the true value of things. As I see it, it creates lots of stupid and unnecessary limitations.
I think that things could still work better without an
exchange system but with a different credit system. Like this: as a normal citizen, you would have access to basic stuff like food, water, school, etc. But with limitations. In order to gain more privileges, you'd have to work and, depending on the utility of your work (which would have to be debated) gain a certain ammount of credit that would be recorded in some database. However, this credit would not be exchangeable. It would lower if you committed crimes or stopped working for a long time, but would only increase if you kept working (since you wouldn't really exchange it for anything).
Everyone would be given the same opportunities. No one would be
born rich or poor. The government would have to provide stuff for people until a certain age, before they needed to start working.
The only problem is that something like this would only work if a large enough independent group of countries decided to do the same.
