I
am thinking of something a little different reminescent of World War II
in the US. We all had ration books aided and abetted by agressive
propaganda that kept most people out of the black market. That is, the
house was kept at no warmer than 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The bathtub was
filled no higher than 4 inches.
Now,
suppose there were ration books but no money. One could "spend"
land-use points, human-labor points, fresh-water points, and most
important of all eMergy points. If I want a new towel, there may not be
any fresh water in the towel but there was fresh water used to irrigate
cotton of which I must use no more than my fair and equal share.
This
is a subtle way of establishing equality and relieving the super rich
of their excessive wealth since US dollars may no longer be used.
