SCARCITY is what causes "greed" not anything intrinsic in humanity.
In poorer neighborhoods and nations, there is more conflict and violence as people fight for resources.
But in more well off neighborhoods and nations, violence and crime are actually lower. You see a pattern here?

So? My point still stands. People want to attach value to objects and want to recieve compensation for what they've done. Eliminating currency is futile because most, if not all, humans want a set denomination of worth and want to get something that's worth a lot in response for work. It's as simple as that.

I would create a Father Knows Best State/Capitalist Paradise.

Civil and political freedoms would be slightly on the downside (by NS standards) but the economy would be way up there. It would be a dictatorship, but a beneficial one.

Are you sure they're not smoking sea weed too?

Maybe it could work if you were on acid.
