With the abolition of money, we are creating the conditions for something to change. There are many concepts for this development, such as degrowth, post-growth, donut economy, commonism, and others that are concerned about what scientists are predicting. Namely, that there will be a collapse if we continue to do business as we have for the past 50 years.
But as long as there is money and the market economy as it is today, there must be growth, because growth is the law of the market economy.

About a quarter of our society would be ready to accept alternative ways of life. That is the percentage of those who would vote for green parties too. So if a quarter of society began to relive concepts of degrowth and consume less, the remaining 75% would have to consume even more in order to generate the growth demanded by economists.

But if we abolish money, a situation would be reached in which everyone can freely decide whether to continue consuming or not.

Now, when we think about whether it would work, we have to assume that we will think differently and act differently. It is clear that we are afraid of such a situation. Today we live in cages. The amount of money we have is the bars. We are constantly trying or forced to spend our money to the limit. It’s like an animal that wants to go outside and can’t. We stick our arms through the bars as far as we can by taking out loans.

Most of the cages are small, but there are also large cages for rich people. But even the cages of the richest people are not infinitely large, since they cannot freely dispose of all money, because most of it is invested in the economy.

When the money is gone, these bars disappear and we are suddenly free. We do not know today how we will act then. Even if we were to do an experiment with a limited group of people who live in a community where there is no money, we are not really free because these people know that there are still cages and that the time of this freedom is limited.

We can only try to imagine how animals behave when suddenly given their freedom. They will first carefully explore what freedom is.

After just a few days, we will change our behavior when we notice that we have received everything for free. Much earlier than the fact that we don’t earn anything because the salary or wages are usually not expected until the end of the month anyway.

It will start with the fact that we don’t look at the prices. We will take the fruits and vegetables from regional organic cultivation that we had previously left because they were too expensive for us.

It is a great adventure for all of humanity. A departure into a new dimension of society, comparable to a Mars mission. Or a mission to fend off a large meteorite that is approaching Earth. Such a meteorite could also be thought of as the danger of collapse, which we are moving towards if we do not stop economic growth.
