Are there any viable alternatives to the monetary system? ?
Q. Is there any reading or viewing i can do on other theories of social structure that don't revolve around the monetary system of economics? Do you think it's ever possible to live in a just and free society without money?

A. I am an economist and the answer is simply "no." Money forms in societies, such as prisons or in defeated societies, without any help from anyone. In prisons it is often twinkies and/or cigarettes. In societies with a destroyed monetary system it is often cigarettes or some base commodity. Money reduces poverty, reduces waste, permits people to trade with the future rather than force all trades to happen at once as would be the case in barter, and reduces the variability of production. Money permits freedom and justice. Without money you encourage slavery and the most vile forms of the use of power. I think the problem you are really looking at is the distinction between justice and fairness and the distinction between freedom and… [cont.]

What do you think about the monetary system?
Q. We can see that the monetary system works for a some more than others. Money is what rules our lives, for better or worse. We owe a lot to money for the successes of our system, but we can blame it for corruption, greed, discrimination, crime and countless other things. So is it outdated? Is there a better option? I have been looking into www.thevenusproject.com, which offers very feasible alternatives. I believe it would work. I implore everyone interested in a change to look into it.

A. I think you're right. Money is the root of all evil being a device that manipulates and runs and ruins people's lives. 'Getting rid of it and just sharing what you produce would get rid of most if not all crime and we can live in peace for a change.

Does the monetary economic system stifle scientific progress?
Q. Science is fundamentally unbiased when it comes to how fast or how slow it can march at. But when you introduce science and economics you get a totally different picture to how science really ought to work. Science does not have boundless energy it could have because scientific inquiry at the moment has imposing barriers to change and progress when no profit is presented. Picture how government grants are given, and how the actual dissemination of this money by such an authority is more of a consideration of profit than health concerns or other more altruistic purposes. When a system is hellbent on margins and not humanitarian reasons, how can it be a plus for science and the betterment of mankind? How can it serve as an incentive to… [cont.]

A. We look back through history at other economic systems - feudalism and mercantilism for example and they always are replaced. However, when the individuals who are in power benefit most from the system why would they change it... and the answer is they wouldn't. Thus it will require a significant event - most likely technological - to abolish our current system and replace it with one like the Venus project proposes. The internet is a fantastic technological tool for the dissemination of unfiltered information, however it must be adopted and trusted by many more people before it can have the desired effect. In my opinion, the catalyst for change will be the development of personal energy generating devices or something similar in nature.… [cont.]

do you believe this comment by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.?
Q. Come back to reality! The present international financial systems can not be rescued! It is now too late for an attempt to rescue those markets themselves; they are far, far gone, and could not be brought back to life in their present form. Our only sane alternative, is to effect the continuity of day-to-day, physical-economic life of the planet, through a process of reorganization in bankruptcy: a reorganization which brings forth a global fixed-exchange-rate credit-system, freed from the carcass of a ruined, lunatic, floating-exchange-rate monetary-system.

Q.

The scenes that followed have shocked and upset not just Sim's family but many other Singaporeans, sparking a debate over the country's organ donor policy, which assumes that all citizens are willing donors, unless they have registered with the government that they wish to opt out.

A. As a Singaporean, I agree with Tan D. The newspaper probably over-dramatised the scene. It is a simple matter of a family which probably doesn't want to face the fact that their relative is already certified brain-dead. This is natural. There is no easy answer but this is not a "forced donation" because the procedures are standard & known to most members of the public... While we may sympathise with any bereaved grieving family, I don't think it's fair to paint the authorities as heartless in this case. After all, the kidneys went to patients who waited many years for donor organs which can be a hard match as not everyone's organ will do, and it is true that there is a risk of damage to the organs if they stay on in the body of the… [cont.]
