How would a cashless society look? Everyone would by equal. Everyone would by rewarded by working hard. People would trade items off worth with each other and lend stuff out for something else. I don't see much wrong with that it happens in some countries already.
It's more like moneyless society you are referring to... some socialistic countries are/was trying to create one but without real success. Btw few thousands years ago society was moneyless but doesn't seem that people were equal... even in animal prides there are some roles etc, money has nothing to do with it
Yeah, that's so true
Power (and stratification of society due to some people being more powerful than the rest of the pack) existed long before the emergence of money. Money can buy virtually anything, but power is not for sale, so money can't buy it (power is taken, not given, anyway). In fact, if you have power you don't need money as such, but with money you can become more wealthier by making people work for you without going for direct coercion (i.e. making people work via economic means). Egyptian pyramids were built by free farmers, not slaves
