- norea-armozel 11y agoNo doubt. And at this point I'm beginning to lean towards the idea of abolishing money altogether (and I'm the market anarchist here).
- igravious 11y agoDon't throw the idea of money under the bus. Money in itself is not the root of the problem. Money is a tool, an instrument -- let's keep that perspective clear in our minds. We can innovate in the money space (crypto-currencies, blockchains, and all that) if we want better solutions. Somebody posted a G.K.Chesterton quote on this site a mere 6 hours ago that is apropos: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9845506 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9845506 [But donkeys, I fear, will never be abolished.] Look to how money is misused abused and try to figure out how we can remedy those situations. Much better :)
