What If Money Didn't Exist?

Imagine no possessions. I wonder if you can. What would a world without money look like? Would society be better off?

Would it eliminate greed or hunger? Would we be happier? How would you get the things you need?

About What If:
Presented by INSH

What If asks some of the most provocative hypothetical questions in science — and then tries to answer them with the help of established scientific theory and the latest research.

"Here's what would happen if we had no money" - basically my life everyday

[NikosM]

No stress, no bills, no elites to control our lives. True freedom

[PILOT-bjmh]

What if humans help each other and trust everyone

Title is wrong. It should be, "What if all the money in the world suddenly disappers. "

[mulberryman]

just a few corrections

1. a world without money wouldn't mean no personal property
2. no cash doesn't mean higher crime rate (especially if money never existed in the first place), rather I suspect that crime would be about the same or lower
3. as for services they would still exist though not in the same way they do now
4 there would still be laws that would be enforced not by a few but by the community as a whole which would actually make it less prone to corruption than a small group of "peace keepers" having absolute power
5. scientific breakthroughs would happen far more regularly since scientists wouldn't need to wait for funding
6 (a bonus factoid) in a world without money teachers would be valued much more highly than they currently are, although there would also be a lot more on the job training

I think most of us meant that what would happen if money/currency wasn't created.

Ive been thinking about this concept a lot recently. Money has a lot of influence on people’s actions. A lot of crimes are motivated in some way by money or lack of money. It’s hard to think about these things because everyone is so accustomed to having money be a big part of our every day lives. If it never existed, people would probably help each other out more, there wouldn’t be any homeless, and people would be a lot happier without the stress of making enough money to live.

Basically, life would become GTA like this

“ A better world doesn’t have to be a what if scenario “ that’s so deep....

“This worlds infected with a cancer fueled by hate and greed”

[LuigiMario_real]

this is far from true. money keeps poor people poor and rich people rich and homeless people homeless. the world would be better if money never existed

Tbh it feels like I'm watching a Nat Geo series, the clips are so well put into place plus the voice over is just amazing. PLEASE don't stop making such videos and don't increase the duration of the video too. It's perfect the way it is. ♥️
Kudos.
