    what if we didnt have money

    It’d immediately be re-invented.

    Money is a unit of measure, a necessary go-between because barter just doesn’t work on any but the smallest scales. If I need a root canal and I don’t possess any goods or access to any services the dentist wants/needs, what am I supposed to do?

    How incredibly naive.
