    About this ebook

    A WORLD WITHOUT MONEY -

    No longer a futurist utopian dream, a money-free world of true abundance, peace and fulfillment is attainable today.

    Find out why we need it,
    how it will work, why it will work, and how we get there.

    This book is your bite-size guide to the Open Economy.

    "Short, clear, concise, to the point, what's amazing with this book is that it tackles difficult social issues which the best human minds have been struggling with through history and exposes in about 100 pages a solution so simple, humane and intuitive that anybody can grasp it. "

      An Offer

      I offer this book in good faith as a concerned cohabitant of Earth. I believe this makes me equally qualified as any other to present some opinions and options for an alternative society that I feel urgently need to be expressed. But, before we begin:

      If you're looking for a long complex manifesto of convoluted theories, you're not going to find them here. The ideas expressed here are simple because the solutions I propose are simple.

      If you're looking for an authoritative document, thick with citations, references, and an author with scholarly accreditations, you're not going to find these here. All the ideas expressed in this book are based on common sense and everyday experience. My only qualification is forty-eight years of life experience, of which the last five, since authoring The Free World Charter, have been spent in much contemplation of this topic.

      Almost nothing in this book is new. The ideas expressed here will almost certainly already be familiar to you. The only thing that's unique is how we are going to apply or combine those ideas.

      If you are happy with these 'rules of engagement' and are interested in exploring some amazing possibilities for our future, then please follow me...

      Introduction

      The format of this book – like everything else about it – is simple. I present a solution to a problem or an alternative method of achieving something, then why I think it will work. The evidence and references for my claims will (I hope) be self-evident by your own experience.

      When it comes to learning new information, there is simply no comparison to experiencing it. That is why I think this approach will work better in explaining the Open Economy. Rather than wasting my time and yours expanding vast amounts of data, I can show you how it works based on what you already know.

      Our world view has become suffused with theories. Theories regarding behaviour and economics that I believe are now limiting our range of possibilities.

      Let us remember that the fields of economics and human behaviour are based on observations. They do not predict the future, nor are they rules that we must obey.

      Many of these observation-based theories were made hundreds of years ago. Since then, mechanisation,
