Economics is wrong specifically monetary economics that uses symbolic currency called fiat currency as a medium exchange would tell you that you need this easily portable symbolic medium because if the farmer wants to exchange his apples for a horse but a sheaf farmer needs something else it would have all these convoluted ways of telling you that the only way to negotiate these things on a Micro economic level is through some intermediate currency but what it fails to realise is what we ve learned about whats called let s say freemium economy. Why do we need money at all if I produce sheep then you can have some sheep if you want them now there is a shared understanding there and the devil's definitely in the details but let s take things like software. If I produce software then I don't need to engage in microeconomics maybe macroeconomic is more the thing how can we foster culture where everyone gets to produce what they feel they want to produce and not hinder the ability of someone else to benefit from that by charging this intermediate currency because keep in mind the problem with monetary economics I need money in order to buy your product if we price it that way but you know who knows what my future potential is if I get that copy of softwareOr if I get access to an a I model that might otherwise be behind a pay wall so in a in a knowledge economy where were notProducing physical things meaning the marginal cost to produce or uh to distribute another AI model or another unit of software software is a great example. And things that now are being consumed or produced behind these for profit models that are really all about knowledge that then the problem is now unless I have money money becomes it's own economic deadweight because unless I have money I can't buy your software but your software might be needed for my future self to benefit and giveback even more so there is a there is a multiplier effect but it depends on a certain amount of trust upfront that I'm not trying to rip you off. And so monetary economics needs to give rise to trust economics if we just create systems where we can trust each other then we don't actually need money. Because the sheep farmer is not going to get ripped off just because somebody needs wool and can't give anything back right now doesn't mean that the sheep farmer is going to die broke in a ditch. But monetary economics wouldnt tell you that.
