About this listen

What if money—the foundation of modern life—suddenly lost its power? What Remains When Money Disappears takes listeners on a thought-provoking journey through the history and possible future of economies without currency. From ancient gift and barter systems to the rise of cryptocurrency and digital trust networks, the book explores how societies have exchanged value long before the invention of coins or banks—and how they might again.

Blending anthropology, economics, and futurism, it questions whether humanity can design a system based not on profit, but on connection, reciprocity, and meaning. In a world facing inequality and ecological limits, it dares to ask: if money vanished tomorrow, what would we truly value—and what would survive?
