No More Money. Can you imagine a world without money? John Lennon, in his song Imagine, spoke of a world without possessions. Are the two linked? If so, what's the link? This question was asked, April 10, 2003, at the No More Money group at Yahoo!

Anyway, anyone who likes to elaborate on what John Lennon meant?
Also, there's a sister blog, called 'Society Without Money'.

It asks the question: Will it ever come to that? If we can be sure of two things - death and taxes - then how are we going to pay for them? Well, things do change over time. It's likely if not inevitable that money as we know it will gradually be replaced by alternatives. The question is: what are the alternatives? How about vouchers, chips, shares, stock options, credits, etc? We'll go into more detail on this in future posts.
Just post a comment, if you like, it's a fascinating topic!
