A World Without Money™ — Critical Thinking Challenge 001
A WORLD WITHOUT MONEY™
CRITICAL THINKING FILE 001
WHAT IF MONEY DISAPPEARED TOMORROW?
No cash. No bank accounts. No prices.
No buying or selling as we know it.
HOW WOULD THE WORLD WORK?
Would people share more? Would communities become stronger? Or would entirely new problems emerge?
Welcome to A World Without™, a thought-provoking series that challenges learners to question the familiar, explore possibilities and imagine a different tomorrow.
In File 001, learners explore a world where money suddenly disappears.
Through eight carefully designed thinking challenges, they investigate what might happen during the first hour, the first week and the first year.
They'll consider who might benefit, who might struggle, what unexpected consequences could arise and whether money should ever return.
THERE ARE NO SIMPLE ANSWERS — ONLY BIG QUESTIONS!
