X-Message-Number: 10877 From: "Timur Rozenfeld" <> Subject: Money Date: Sun, 6 Dec 1998 12:24:05 -0700 Whenever goods and services will need to be traded there will be the need for money as a medium of exchange. No matter how advanced the technology, there will always be things that some people can do that others can't. Many of the values that we trade for today will be easily attainable (food, security), but some might not be (art, knowledge). Unless all people in the future will be identical, some people will know how to create values that others can't and there will be the need for trade. The only kind of future without the need for trade would be one where any value one wished to attain can instantaneously be satisfied.
