      Who makes the consumables in a library economy? Why on earth would I farm for love of the game?

          Someone else will do it then, surely? I can just play video games and check things out permanently from the library and get free food from the farmer?

            Maybe if you want to piss off the farmer…

            You are forgetting that there is a component of anonymity that fiat currency provides transactions. You lose that in a social economy.

            Money is “asocial”.

                    Yeah

                    Just like in the existing capitalist economy, case managers decide who receives disability payments and insurance analysts decide who gets medical treatment. Who knew society means being at the whims of other people 🤡

                    Is a social economy, you can directly appeal to people with resources you want, as in “socialize”.
