If money ceases to be an option, most people will gladly cooperate

The present global financial crisis



The present global financial crisis may indicate that the world we live in today has lost stability and is on the brink of changing. Therefore, this "crisis" might be necessary to awaken us to the potential of tomorrow. Just because money has been making the world go round for thousands of years doesn't mean money will be the way of the world forever.

We should start looking for an alternative system to preserve, and increase, standards of living now in case we need it tomorrow (I imagine politicians are the ones with the resources and organizational ability needed to implement such a system). This scheme should not use any form of monetary organisation nor be based on gold, silver etc. It should, idealistic and naive as it appears at first, be based on mutual cooperation and the goal of ushering in a paradise on earth. We can say there can never be paradise on earth; but the human instinct to survive is much stronger than our tendency for other types of self-interest and greed, and to not cooperate with each other. If money ceases to be an option, most people will gladly cooperate with those we would have previously regarded as competition or even an enemy if it's the only way to maintain and improve our living standard. Sincerely, Rodney Bartlett, Stanthorpe, Qld. Australia
