I dispute that... In the societies that emerged in abundance - mostly "island paradises" - peace reigned and They did not use money. They did things for social currency - thanks, appreciation, reputation, lauds, etc. They were happy and creative...until the "western world" moved in and forced the accounting for One's energy added into the system (money) on Them. They were overall very happy People.
Let Me ask... If We did not need money and had access to the abundance of Our planet, how would control come about? There is no path to widespread control... And unless ET comes, no "outside" civilization anymore to force things.
