What If Money Didn’t Exist? | Rethinking Value, Power, and Creativity in a Post-Currency World

Roy Sharples Season 3 Episode 128

What happens when the world no longer runs on money?

This lyrical, thought-provoking episode explores a radical question: What if money didn’t exist? Through a vivid, story-driven narrative, we dismantle the economic systems that shape our lives and imagine what might rise from the rubble — a world where creativity, empathy, and community replace currency.

How would we define value without price?
Could cooperation replace competition?
Would art flourish if it wasn’t made to sell?

We examine the collapse of traditional economies, the evolution of power without profit, and the liberation of human creativity from market forces. From resource-based economies and time-based currency to gift cultures and sustainability credits — this episode offers blueprints for a new kind of wealth: measured not in digits, but in dignity and meaning.

This isn’t escapism.
It’s a design brief for the future.
