Moneyless
Moneyless Society is a group of people and an organization that aims to create alternative community systems and structures, and eventually create a working, self-sustaining city/model in which residents/owners/contributors (or whatever titles are chosen) will not need money to live or operate within the community/city.
This will enable the residents of these experimental communities to essentially “opt-out” of and thereby largely bypass the outside monetary and socioeconomic system of the world today - capitalism.
Our society is based on the money economy: all transactions are monetary. But does it apply to everything? No! The most beautiful things in life are free.
Above all: there are alternative ways to get food, even if you don’t have money. And even if you are pregnant without money you can raise your baby in a nice and beautiful way.
There are many people who live without money, who made a conscious choice to give up cash and other forms of currency. They consciously don’t have money, some even live stateless. Some satisfy their needs by exchanging services, others prefer to think of doing it pay-it-forward style.
Pounds and pence are important to some but not vital for everyone. From skinny dipping to dustbin dining, there are many ways to live without paying for it.
For the vast majority of us, the first thing that has to change before embarking on a cash-free life is our mental framework.
I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it’s not the answer.
– Jim Carrey
Only after the last tree has been cut down, only after the last river has been poisoned, only after the last fish has been caught, only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.
– Chief Seattle Cree Indian Elder
