Date: 2008-07-05 05:34 am (UTC)I've seen economic systems rise and fall in an online RPG. In the end bartering died and vanilla in-game currency took over. Living virtual societies are quite fascinating, actually.
There's nothing that's going to replace money in my opinion, because for one thing, the value of something is always going to be measured in terms of dollars and cents on at least some level. Secondly, I can't fathom it being possible to shift the global economy to something that's not money, like a barter system; money is just so ingrained into our civilization. You'd have a better chance at implementing gun control in the United States. It isn't gonna happen. >.>
