Switzerland is one of few countries in the world where the citizens WILL decide if they reject a cashless society. In most other societies, it is the politicians who decide, who are by and large beholden to corporate interests. And because corporations are more or less uninterested in freedom, and love big profits, corporations are fine with a cashless society.
- wil421 4y agoI would like to read about countries where politicians implemented a cashless society and what happened.

- qwerty456127 4y agoFor example China already is experimenting with digital "money" you can only spend until specific date (before it expires) so people won't have savings (needless to say they also control who pays for what and can even block you completely once you say something the state doesn't like). Israel is not a cashless society yet but already requires people to specifically declare cash savings exceeding certain (pretty humble) amounts even if they have already declared the income and paid the taxes.
