They are both equally important in our society. Education for careers should be based on mental capabilities and personal preference for that level of intelligence.

Such a world is impossible. People will always find value in something, rendering some kind of "currency." It may not be in money as we know today, but rather in goods. Say I have X ounces of gold and you want it. Well, say you have X ounces more of silver than I have in gold. The two items would be traded, making the smaller weight of gold worth more than the silver, as you needed to give me more in order to ensure the trade.

Man kind has always bartered. Before paper currency was established, and before any form of metal currency either for that matter, man would trade goods with one another. Food, tools, supplies and various other goods were held at a value -- just as you would value things that are important to you. Before there was a tangible system of currency these goods were how you would go about acquiring other goods.
A world can exist without money -- it did for a long, long time before it was brought into society. It's only in the past millennium or past few centuries that paper/metal/other forms of currency became circulated. It would take a lot of recall and would be pretty inconsistent and inconvenient since people may value their possessions differently, but it is certainly very possible.

No its a fairy tale and kids dreaming of communism piss me off, being from a former USSR country.
Wanting a world where everyone ''cooperates'' for the ''common good'' is nice and all but its so naive it just pisses me off.
The economy, if you are cynical, runs on the fact that people keep wanting more stuff they don't need for survival i.o luxury items.
I don't see why people would be getting up to go to work every day not being paid in money but in services or items. Now whats the difference here? With money you pay for those things anyway and have the freedom of choice to pay for stupid shit you don't really need either (Like smart phones, designer clothing etc etc).
Now how would everyones labor be a currency to everyone else? Say I am the brick layer and I have a heart problem so I need to see a cardiologist.
So what happens next? The cardiologist doesn't need a new wall so I fucking die? Or your going to say but healthcare shall be available to all because the common man will cooperate together to make it so!
OK well that requires some sort of adminstration of these ''common'' resources...
Now even assuming this ''moneyless'' system works what the hell changes? Nothing really labour would just be made into the new currency, which it technically already is since you get paid for your labor and money acts as a means of commerce in otherwords it makes trading efficient and gives you the choice to do with it as you please.
Simply selling your own labour directly will not be the same or better - it will be worse. Not all jobs are equal purely based on demand & requirements. If you say that problem would be remedied by some form of adminstration then it comes back to
Who administers and spreads the gains of everyones labor? Under what authority? What assurance is there of clarity or equality?
Let me answer for you. NONE
It would be just like capitalism essentially is. And it would be just like the so called ''communism'' of the USSR was. Nomenklatura rule.
There will always be an ''elite'' class that seizes power especially if there is a need for a ruling class built into society.
Humans aren't ants. We will never be working for the common good selflessly.
Its good to dream but I'd rather see people who want people to be more kind & helpful towards each other stop preaching pipe dreams and think about how to move people in a positive direction in the mostly self centered world we live in.
Anyway that is just my view of it.

If by no money you mean that we go back to barter, it would be really inconvenient for a number of reasons:
1. We won't be able to measure EXACTLY what something is worth, and one or the other might not get what his goods or services really are worth because there's no way of measuring.
2. If you want to sell something, you can only sell it to someone who wants what you're selling and has what you want. Now that's highly inconvenient if you run out of toilet paper and only have canned ham to offer in exchange. (you get the point)
3. When you have like your life savings in terms of corn, and they all get rotten before you trade all of it off, what are you gonna do about it?
There's probably more, but that's all I can think of.
On the other hand, if by no money you mean anyone can just waltz in the department store and get anything you want, there'll be no way no allocate our scarce resources to satisfy our infinite wants and needs. In short, there'll be no more Economics and we'll probably suck this planet dry of everything in a few days.

Just because you get paid in currency right now for your work does not mean the ''value'' of your work has been ''exactly measured''
Value is relative. And in the economy its relative to demand & supply. What I mean to say there really is no way to ''measure'' value right now the market (read people) create value constantly via commerce.

Actually that is true what Hyper said. An example: I bought a video game for 50 euros today. The next year, that game costs 30 abd the next year 15 euros. Probably equal amounts of time were spent on the original game and another game which was made 2 years after the first. The reason why it dropped in price is:
1. The retailer wants to clear storage
2. The retailer, instead of throwing it away wants to make a bit of money
3. There are few people who could not buy the game initially, but they can now.
Of course, the game's initial retail value is always larger then the value of that same game when the retailer bought it from the distributor. The game which costs 50 euros probably was bought from the distributor for 15-20 euros or even less. The prices are governed by quantity of something and then the quality.
yeah it only makes you happy if you spend it
Not really. I do not like spending money on trinkets which cost 15 euros, but are worth 2 euros. Only food and games on sale on Steam and clothes and MAYBE some stuff for my computer.

Ah a kindred spirit :D What you describe is the essence of anarchism. People have been led to believe that we NEED government, money, authority, etc. To "keep us in line" This is a lie. Money isn't real, it only has the value we give it. Anarchists like myself want to see a world free from social hierarchy, power, and capitalism. Anarchy does not mean chaos, it means order without power. There is enough food/water/shelter/everything else for everybody on this planet, its the system that is the problem. From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs. Karl Marx (Who you may be familiar with, I saw your avatar ;) ) said "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" In a society where everyone contributed something to their commune/town/whatever group they happen to belong to, and in return everyone received the basic needs of life as well as a share of any commodities, luxuries, or other social wealth produced by the group, there would be no reason to steal, kill, or be a dick. We could all just chill, be happy, learn and grow together :) I suggest reading Emma Goldman's "Anarchism and Other Essays" linked in my sig.

Maticek, I understand that equality and freedom of choice aren't one and the same, what i am saying is that in a world where everyone is equal, there would exist many different groups of people with different beliefs on how things should be. You would have your marxists, anarcho-communists/syndicalists/primitivists/whateverivists, and everyone could live in the type of community/commune/squat/whatever that best suited them. Or they could tell everyone else to fuck off and go live in the wilderness alone :D because its their life and they can do that :)

Even if the figure you just pulled out of your butt was accurate, it would still be subject to change. It's obvious the current system(s) don't work. We just have to wake people up to the fact that they're being deceived, poisoned, and controlled for profit and power. And that will take time. Propaganda won't help, people have to start thinking for themselves and arrive at their own conclusions. Once they start using their brains they will see the flaws and everything they have been taught will begin to fall apart. When the majority of people are awake, then we can actually do something about it. The revolution isn't going to happen tomorrow, just like humanity wasn't enslaved in a day.

I don't think a world without currency could work on a global scale...
How would the world progress? Big projects like the LHC at CERN wouldn't be built, what would be the incentive? No one have money to spend on cool cars and TVs, but who would make the TVs, for no money?
