That’s all money is anyway. Its just a trade tool. We assign some value to a bit of paper and exchange it for things we want. It’s more practical in the modern world than working to earn a few sheep and trading them for some cabbages and a goat.

Then yes, we’d just be bartering and trading items. Which would also make large purposes ridiculous. What are you gonna trade for a house, 7000 various items? 30 paperclips, 3 sheep, 6 bricks, and 4 horseshoes a month?

That, or there’d be a Marxist government. But probably bartering.

There would be no motivation for the world to advance, now think where we would be without computers, Telephones, micro-chips… same place we would have been a while ago

Motivation is only incurred because of money. Money does not create an endurring motivation for anyone.
