“I begin to see how a post-money society would work in practice. When we are in paid employment, we are exchanging our labour in return for money in order to live within a money-based society, nothing more. Both sides in the labour-salary exchange are motivated by self-interest. But when we volunteer our labour for a cause, for a better world, we are not so much exchanging our labour as investing it directly into the world we want to see. Notes for Utopia: there will be no money when we get there.”
Cliff James, Life As A Kite

“I give a call to the billionaires today who really want to help people - start by demolishing the salary disparity in your own company and distribute your own salary as well as those of your highest earning employees among all your employees so that the salaries of everybody in your company, starting from the janitor to yourself are the same. And use at least half your company's profit to solve societal issues. Remember, being the richest person on earth won't make you happy, easing the difficulties of others will.”
