Fantasizing about barter is loony. The youth will grab crypto and their smartphone before contemplating inefficient barter. Currency is a convenience (over barter). People only move to barter if there is no other choice. Ferfal confirms this from experience in Argentina's collapse.
Haha the man got a taste for research! Bad thing he keeps looking only for what confirms his bias!
We owe streets, markets, banks, industrialization, miniaturization, digitalization, customization to money. If we are now more than six billions is because of it. We owe it also the new caps for human organization and peaceful relationships. If anything allowed more the realization of "go and multiply" it was money. But this same money that allowed it all to be traded summoned political-economic excesses that in time were also reflected on individual level.
These excesses were first tracked where numbers allowed it, on economics. Acknowledged as cycles of boom and burst and with some controversy [1] we kept mending the system so it could scale up more until new longer cycles were created by easing credit obtainment. By now trillions of debt are waiting to be defaulted on states and citizens as the world prepare for radical movements. Of course, these are tracked excesses.
On political side much of these effects are ignored, as it relates to consciousness and identity that like memory the more you lose it less you notice. To mend the system on this front we also eased credit obtainment. The new highs of free human value crashed societal control over human distinction so glory, honor and titles rapidly lost its meanings. Also the irresponsibility that toke place promoted the spoiled childhood psychology and the branding of humans on neighborhoods where subjectivity values suffered devastation. I could also point out some rates like divorce, homicide, incarceration, drug addiction and corruption, but by now you already got the idea.

As peer pressure faded and securitization met its technological limit. Force was used to insure that the basic information gaps the economy had to scale up would be overcome. As force joins the system warranting cancerous grades of growth, everything is drowned in it. Why would you keep track, why would you care to doubt, why would you use papers and vows if the violent monopolist is there for you. This goes from jailing the vulnerable to bail out the losers, rich and poor.

The main point is that the world without humans is just stuff. Money should be, as it begin, the abstraction of human value. It is the projection of awareness into something in a way that awareness can be converted trough its projection into the awareness of greater goods. When money loses contact with the qualitative differentiation of human awareness it works mostly alienation.

Force, Commoditization and Representation allowed values to scale up and won against the groups of solutions that didn't, turning it on a worldwide practice. Not by conspiracy every major country acts by these methods. However we are now heading to the future and it seems that the more fear and alienation is pumped on the system, more society trembles on the edge of the abyss of barbarism. On the low part of the society spectrum when lights turn out and the violent law leaves the streets rioting and looting takes place. On the high part of the society spectrum the educated, well related and powerful thinks twice about the interest of keeping the masses alive but little on how much more he deserves. This is not their fault. They have not the force needed to drag the system inertia. Of course, nothing is lost until taking as lost. Glimpses of a solution rains here and there before the whole system falls.

So, a new system have to lessen the need of force, awake human beings of it reciprocal specialty and empower the people who cares for the time and matter they care about, down-top. Also, by the actual picture we also think that the changes made have to be sensed as some clear effects. It have to help communities by increasing security and empowering them with long forgotten credit, relationships and education not by top-down fomentation but by their mutual trusts, wishes and desires.

Checks and Balances will migrate from systemic waste to where it truly deserves to be, weighting access VS development locally and non-locally, granting social capital is not eaten by Commoditization nor sound money is destroyed by Populism. It will transform the decision making in a way that every community will be able to teach and learn something about values increasing total awareness for each new transaction.
