Code Snippet - Money
-
Hey, Now you are a C# developer too! Welcome to the club, and well done! :)
-
If you had to write a C# code snippet that shows/explains how money is useless, what would it be?

Open source :)

Before starting off with the code, I would first understand the requirement - "How exactly is money useless?" ;)

Well, most of the rest of the world is capable of seeing the uselessness of money.

What have you tried so far ?

Thank you! I'll try to opt for a :bob: MVP and to win any of the contests here... I firmly believe this code will open me doors... Just in case, can I give any possible employer your reference? :rolleyes:
Haha, no problem. I can confidently tell them that you have the answer to life and the universe. In C# no less! ;P

Would it be free as in free beer, or free as in freedom? One must know!

public string money_is_useless = "Can't Buy Me Love";

- People with no money are eager for change. 1) People with money are resistent to change. 2) Therefore money == resistence 3) "Resistence is useless." -- The Vogon Guard 4) Ergo, money is useless.

Ehr, since when? Money has been the way of the world since recorded history. Show me a society without money, proof that it is useless. I'll take the opposite stand, and claim that a complex society could not have emerged without it.

The society of Star Trek Maybe you don't want society to go in that direction.

A non-existing society. Good example. I won't slap you with quotes where they reference using money. Even the original series.

There is no society in that direction :laugh:

The only time they use "currency" (not money) is when dealing with obviously inferior species of aliens. So that equates to us, today. We are an obviously inferior species, because we need a system that uses money.

Because some made up storie can do it (if you ignore the inconsistensies), it must be practically possible? Who would move muck for the philantropical reasons mentioned in star trek? Who would repair a sewer, if there's no reward? It is a brilliant example of how academics fail to see reality and why a global technocracy would be the doom of mankind. Outside of that obvious problem; it would require the removal of competition, something a species which competes to pass its genes will not accept. Sorry, I've been pondering a long time about it before you even brought it up :)

Er yeah. Except where the guy goes off spouting his own opinions, it's exactly as I said: money is only used to deal with aliens.

Who would build pyramids? Ancient Egypt had no money, but they performed greater feats of co-operative labour than anyone else has ever manager -- and while the zillion guys were erecting the pyramids, a zillion other guys were cleaning their toilets, etc. Money, in most societies, is a relatively new invention. It was not necessary for trade, because any kind of token could be (and was) used. It was sheer stupidity that made money itself more important than the goods and services that are traded. It gave far too much power to people who produce nothing of real value.
