    The collective sentiment is, we'd be better off without it. Is there actually anyone who doesn't think that? (If a rich member now comes along, ...)

    I personally don't think so, because some other form of "keeping score" among people would quickly come along.

    My personal take on money: it's one of the most important ways to get things done and realize your ideas in today's society (considering we're 8 billion people), thus i voted for "it's the backbone of our economic system".

    The first option doesn't make much sense, lots of people earn and lose large amounts of money every year, companies boom and then go bankrupt, a person's worth can't be based on the market's whims.

    Good answer. How do you think keeping score/having something for trade et cetera could be made ethical, or is the whole system predestined to be unbalanced and exploitative anyway since normal human dynamics are at work?
