What if we scrapped money altogether and just gave everybody what they wanted?

Don't we have all the technology and resources to make this happen? It could also mean less crimes would happen then too.

And when you woke up, it was morning.
Everything that you own is produced somehow. Even if it is by the mean of a magical 3d printer that never runs out of material there must be somebody who makes that who will ask for money in order to buy parts and pay it's workers. And from this the chain goes on.

Fantasy and nothing else.
A society with no money and with no barter system is a society with nothing or poor as hell.
Are you sure you want to live in such a world?

No, he means no money whatsoever.
We are all fairies and by magic we produce whatever we need so there is no need to buy anything.

Universal basic income sort of fits this but it is still money. I don't think we can ever do away with some form of money system until we as a race get to the point where we can replicate what we need from he fabric of space.

Hihihi

Alien , blinks : Now there are 21 trillion and I've set all privkeys to "Futurama".
