    It is useful to have a common motivator. If you don’t like something tax it, if you do like something subsidize/pay for it. I think that is one of the big questions to answer with other systems. If we remove money as a motivator (or at least greatly reduce its value) what will replace it? There will always be greedy people, even if most people can live comfortably. What will be used to motivate them to the common good?

      Reeducation. Take back in moral values as real values, not something that is just admired on paper. Educate them from a very early age that if you prosper, everyone else prospers as well, if you work hard and everyone else works hard, the system works, if not, it doesn’t. If you embed these values in people, they will grow, it just takes time.

      The problem is, people unite and decide to change things only when faced with grave danger. By that point, it might already be too late… but, I guess we’ll see what the future holds.
