Our world could exist without a need for money, if we had started off that way.
We already tried that..over 5000 yrs ago. Money makes trades easier & more convinent.
Get a job. but in the beginning we used a barter system, 50lbs of grain for your cow. the problem arose, how do you gve change, you can't cut the cow up into cents so they created money. so without money, we would go back to a bartering system since we would want things other people had. But we did start off that way! In the past we used a barter (or trade exchange) system, when goods were being exchanged without the use of money. For example, you would give me some wood, and I would give you some chicken. Our world could exist without a need for money, if we had started off that way.
