Perhaps banks could implement a negative interest rate. Money you don't use goes to science (or something equally "good" for humanity)?

- skylan_q 13y agoa negative interest rate Guess what drives consumption and consumerism. :)
- dkuntz2 13y agoPerhaps. The whole system would need some redoing as well, such as providing everyone with basic necessities. Part of the negative interest could be used to help provide those.
- breischl 13y agoYeah, but then nobody would ever deposit money in the bank. Much more clever to call it something seemingly unrelated, like "inflation".
- twic 13y agoThis is called "tax".
