We all know what a world without a government would be like but what about a world without money? would it work? I honestly don't know or where to being to start but if I really had to I would love to say a world with no money would make people live more honest lifes and there would be less corupt but it wont, for example the government would be working for the people not the money, but then again with no money there probably would'nt be a government (who really would do that for no money) and no government means no rules which means every man for themselfs and the survival of the fitest. They say money is the route of all evil but is it really? I think its only part of the equation, No government equals total chaos, like as stated in the the lovely writings of Thomas Hobbes in The State Of Nature in his book The Liviathan (which is a great book but very boring and long winded). So really the route of all evil has to be the human race.

I don't think it's as simple as just eliminating money.  There's gotta be some way to compensate for what we do.  How would we get groceries if there aren't people willing to work at a grocery store for free?  Do you think someone is going to be willing to spend all day at the power company to make sure that we all have electricity?

It seems like a good idea to have everyone without money, since that would eliminate all the social classes.  But since we're all on the higher end of the spectrum, giving up the power of money would make us loose out a lot.  We'd have to grow our own veggies, milk cows and all that stuff just to survive, becuase we wouldn't have the luxury of paying someone to do that stuff for us.

Oh embarassing... I went on a tangent.  But yeah.  Humans are their own worst enemies.  Our biggest problem is ourselves.
