You must be just baiting Yves, because I seriously cannot beleive that you can't imagine a society without a monetary currency. You should read the Iain M Banks book "The Algebraist" where the only economy that truly advanced societies deal in is the currency of 'kudos'. I find this notion very convincing and sincerely hope that it's the future of our own society. Think forwards to a time when technology has eliminated scarcity.
Another good and fun read in this regard in Charles Stross' "Accelerando", see www.accelerando.org
