Imagine if all money in the world suddenly disappeared, and all the men who kept track of the worlds invisible money's heads blew up. The world would immediately become better.

the only way to have a world without currency, is to assign professions and educations at birth depending on what the world needs.
that way people would be willing to work for free. being trained at birth that they can enjoy being part of the big picture and it dont matter what you do.

then everything can be free. however for this to happen NOW would be impossible

I concur, Bisjac.

Divide by zero, restart world.
Then maybe Bisjac's plan will work :D

If you watched Stossel, you would know that the only reason we have "overweight" and "obese" people is we use BMI and have such low standards for these.

EX:George Bush was "overweight" even though he was 6 feet tall and weighs 190 pounds.

NO. Everything would lose it's value. Workers would refuse to put in labor without compensation. People's demands would not be met due to there being no supply. People would starve. Riots would ensue. Death would be inevitable.

The fabric of a good economy is having something with value to trade it for something you need. Money is just a simplified way to give value to everything.

i would hate trading goods and services for goods and services. what a pain in the ass that would be.

In this type of society, people would be stealing things from markets like guns and then try to get other peoples valuables..

Things would be complete chaos. D:

well trading anything for anything is a currency. and would become "money"

to not have money at all. you would need a government that would supply EVERYONE with EVERYTHING they NEED.
and society would have been trained to not want anything extra ever.

Is this even possible for humans.

The point is that money, while sucking major ass, is not the problem, it's the main cause of the problem.

NO. Yes.

Everything would lose it's value. Good thing

Workers would refuse to put in labor without compensation. Workers could work for themselves, and make their own stuff.

People's demands would not be met due to there being no supply. As if the government actually cares about "the people" now.

People would starve. Survival of the fittest.

Riots would ensue. Like that would make any difference.

Death would be inevitable. 1. Survival of the fittest. 2. Good, decrease in population.

The fabric of a good economy is having something with value to trade it for something you need. I don't think you get the point, if there was no money there wouldn't be an economy to sweat over.

Money is just a simplified way to give value to everything. Everything is valuable in some way and is differently valuable to other people. Why would we need something complicated making the simple simpler?

All and all, your entire statement is babies.
