I do see your point and I see we both agree that money is indeed the cause of a lot, if not all of the world's major problems.
As to your point about the intellectual leaders progressing the cause of mankind, this is a great idea and one I would subscribe to, I just get this niggling voice in the back of my mind... "who polices these leaders?" can they stay independant enough to better ALL mankind, what if, for arguments sake they decided nuclear power was good for mankind?
I really do see your idea but am worried about a few making decisions for the whole population, don't we have that situation now?

every decision, big or small, can be presented to the public by invidual teams who present the facts about each situation and everyone (who wants to) has a chance to vote....regular checks by 1000s of individuals to avoid corruption..yada
oh, and create a new currency without inflation that is run by the people, not private bankers

My only issue with this is that we could in fact be playing in to their hands.
What better way than to introduce a new global currency than if pockets of a rebellious society band together and crash the market.

I like this line of thinking, however how do we do this without the power hungry stepping on any progress?
