If the mainly problem of the world is all about money, I propose do not use money anymore. We can make a free living. Not in a money prison.

We just need to earn some money to get more confidence and security of a better life. But its not what our current system provides for us. We are getting so far from human being because money is our creation and we can dissolve our creation. The propose is: Leave the money system and live our lifes for the humanity. We are all humans and we are only one humanity as whole. We think we are different from other but we are not. We can be a little more human just by living sharing basic things for a good living with others. It's not a true that a money can make the things happen. It's how big is our will to make things happens to everyone. We need to change. We need to be the "we". We can share everything we want to other people. We can live without money just providing services that makes a better life. Let's change how we are considering our life. Be the diference and be a new world. Just think that we are One and everyone, and think that everyone is just you and one.

    Mar 16 2012: And i think it will always be used on a wrong way. Because everyone earn some money to protect yourself, not to protect other people. With no uses of money, this value of self interest will change and everyone probably will do/make things for the comunities or to others. We say money is great because we aren't that ones whose doesnt have any money to live. We need to think about that people who doesnt have any money and keep dying every day because of it. This current system of world is only great for people who has money to live in confort and with a home.

    Mar 16 2012: If it's not money, it will be something else that everyone will need!

    I don't mind the idea of money at all, on the contrary, money is great! It the use of it by corrupt people, power envy and all the cupiduty that it brings, not from money itself, but by man/woman!

    Money it's just being use the wrong way!

    Mar 10 2012: I don't think that money is the main problem but it is the greed behind money. If people could learn to live within their means and not spend money they don't have, learn to plan for the things they want and save for those things. People then wouldn't be paying the astronomical interest charges borrowing money and wouldn't need to make more and more money to pay those bills. This means that people need to be happy with less stuff, this concept works for governments as well. The crisis in Europe is the result of not being able to pay for all the stuff. Maybe we need to be looking at funding our communities or certain aspects of our community from private sources rather than public. Large corporate profits coming back to communities to fund say a portion of education costs, or pharmaceutical companies funding a portion of health care costs. We need to get to spending what we have and not what we may have in the future. There are many people who are unemployed and those people may be receiving government assistance, those people should be considered employed by the government and put to work to fill some of the jobs that cannot be funded by a separate pool of money.

    Mar 9 2012: Mateus, sounds good to me. Somebody here on ted.com told me something about a "basic income" concept, whereby everyone receives sufficient income to live with dignity. Suppose we paid people according to their age, e.g., $60,000 for people who are 60 years old, $20,000 for people who are 20 years old. Simultaneously, we provide capital goods and facilities and whatever else is required for people to produce products and services their heartsmindsspiritssouls were inspired to produce. I think we would achieve a higher level of productivity, superior goods and services, a healthier and happier population and a whole stream of other positive consequences. Power to the positive.

    Mar 9 2012: I'm talking about humanity. I'd like a world without money and without politicians. The comunities makes it own benefits to thw world. A person is exactly all persons in the world. I dont believe in a system of Government who doesnt understand their people. Because people dont need to be in a system of jail. I propose a change, a new world, a world who makes the difference is everyone, not a few politicians who just want to know about their money and self interest. We can manage a world better with love and share good things to everyone. (sorry by any kind of error in english, its not my official language)

    Mar 9 2012: It's not a system of exchanging. We dont need to receive every moment you give. Just give and share when it needs. When you buy something from a market you're not giving another thing than the money that's just a fake system of a better life on confidence and security. Imagine a world where you'll only get what everyone needs, not only you need.
