Just an observation but some people in this thread seem to be confusing money with an economic system. Money is merely a tool that facilitates barter of goods and services. It's the HUMAN BEING that is using the money that defines the outcome. In a way this thread is like saying, a world...

I'm being serious, all collectivists should get together and either buy a large isolated piece of the world and be given it. They can plan, plan and plan their distribution to their hearts content and leave us freedom loving individual to deal with the horrors of our free markets and laws...

How then are you going to stop the HUMAN BEING(s) charged with distributing energy, homes, food from being corrupted?

What you are suggesting is planned distrubution of resources, a.k.a socialism. It has been tried over and over and for the reasons already stated in my previous posts, it ends in totalitarianism and collapse. Hitler, Marx, Stalin, Lenin all sold the myth of abundand resources that can be...

Ok to rephrase my question. In a money-less society how can I acquire something that I do not currently have and cannot manufacture on my own?

Ok spell it our for me. In this money-less society how do I acquire food, water and shelter?

Instead of waiting say a million years or so to evolve a different human nature we could just take the Fresco fast track Course (course comprises a book and four handy fast track CD's for only $99.99). Can someone sell me a copy plllllllllllllease.

You should get all your friends together, buy an island somewere where you can do what you want and play at dressing up in swatzikas and putting each other into concentration camps.

Fresco's idea ignores the FACT that people are inherently greedy. If you use technology to take away societies ability to take or have more than their neighbour. Then who controls/monitors the technology and how do you get round the FACT that they will be greedy and corruptible? If you can't...

I think a much better project for Fresco would be to acquire a large piece of land and invite all the freedom loving people of the world. He doesn't even need to write a constitution, he can borrow from the U.S.

I hesitate to blame the politicians. Yes they are greedy but it's part of the human makup. To be devoid of greed is to be non-human. Greed and strive to have more and more has partly driven our species. The founding fathers were well aware of this and hence drew up a constitution that would...

OP, these resources that you talk of require experts/controllers to plan who does what and who gets what etc. This is still socialism. i.e How do you expect the 'controllers' to be fair and unbiased and uncorruptable ( in other words how do get these human beings to defy their own nature and...

Don't you know that BP merged with Amaco a while back, it is an anglo-american company. Also, I can asure you that the 'british' people have about as much say in the actions of BP or any mulitnational company for that matter as the American people have in whether or not Obomba invades another...

McChrystal should not accept any of Barry's invitations until he sees the full birth certificate. I wonder, would Barry be prepared to go to the supreme court where he might be required to produce it as evidence.

IMHO trying to work out in advance whether the breakout will hold or not is a waste of time, and not necessary to make money in this market.

The problems faced go much deeper than Obama (or whichever puppet is in power in the great illussion that is American democracy). The slow and steady death of individualism and freedom both economic and political which has been going on for decades (just like in Germany 1900's) has been quietly...

Really? I thought Barry's solution to the Gulf was to de-industrialise the west.

That's easy. Go work for GS.
