		<description>Having given it much thought a society based on esteem or kudos seems the ideal manner in which to develop humanity.
Considering the actual cost of goods and services (which is nothing more than a payment to the person responsible for the provision of each component as all materials come freely from the earth), there is no actual cost of any item or service. 
To put it bluntly why don't we all work for free and simply access whatever goods are required to fulfill our needs and wants?

It seems to me that there are enough people who enjoy their occupations to ensure that any and all items, goods and services can be provided to all for free.  
Any task without a willing supplier can then be automated. 
It seems to me that if money is no object a machine can be conceptualised (by those who live for this type of challenge), designed (by desighers who love to design) and manufactured by artisans (who love to build). 
Raw materials and manufacturing are almost completely automated processes now and only minor changes would be required to completely automate these (and many other processes).
I put it to you then that if everyone persued a venture that truly inspired them, the world would produce enough of everything to gaurantee abundance. Keeping in mind that there would be no esteem lavished on conspicuos consumption (that these days is the measure of success), which means that nobody would want 14 cars and a 50 bedroom house.

The average retort is that if everything was free there would be no incentive to ge out of bed in the morning. 
Ask yourself how long you could sit around watching TV and drinking beer before that got boring and you asked yourself the obvious question, "What could I do, make, create or perform that myself and others would benefit from?"
I don't see a failing in the esteem based economy, the trick is implemeting it worldwide and simultaeneously, the benefits are obvious and unlimited.</description>
