ReplyDeleteGreetings. Wow I'm the first comment. I get what you're putting out here. I'm on Substack too. Obviously from the comments section of an essay that was contributed with Ration Spirituality's latest post on 051925. A most significant day.
ReplyDeleteMy question is : motivation. What would motivate people to not work for money? And why working 8-12 hours a day, 5-7 days a week in your model of no money but still requires working - doesn't equate. Is there anything more to that perspective than what you proposed? Because the purpose of working is to accumulate enough money to - not work.

Hi Orion. Good question: what is the motivation to work? I address this question in my "What's the Motive for Working in an Egalitarian Society with No Money" at https://www.pdrboston.org/what-motive-to-work-if-no-money . It links to a longer version of the answer at https://www.pdrboston.org/what-replaces-the-free-market .
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think of this?
I love establihing local assemblies, there are some efforts at that underway, I think. One is Joe Cook and Common Sense 250's People's Forum. I think the money story at our nation's founding would help because few know it. True, there were no transitional laws made to end slavery, the transition was made with the bloodiest civil war in history. There was a law made that saddled us with a debt-based monetary system giving the bankers a veto on the nation's public policy.
