What is prosperity?

In my last blog post, I asked the question, "What is Money"?
You guys offered some really good answers, and from what you responded, here's what I got;
Money is an idea, a concept which is applied to an object. In ancient societies, seashells were currency. There have been many different currencies; gold and silver, land and livestock, and today, even ourselves, the debt-ridden human race.

An alternative economic structure

*(Preface: This is an essay I wrote, explaining a possible alternative to modern capitalism. I hope someone will read it and contact me about working on making it happen!)*

About Me

Bio

There will always be difficulty when a society is unwilling to accept change. Change is inevitable- change is constant. The changes that are underway in our generation are ones that address some of the most fundamental issues relevant to our perception of reality and ourselves.

I want to inspire change in the ways that circumstance & opportunity allow. I study the world, I study the experience of existence, and I study mankind. I am sometimes discouraged by the atrocities & apathy of the world, but am always encouraged and empowered by the unstoppable forces of change & evolution.

Skills and talents
I am a musician. I studied classical guitar, but am also proficient at keyboard and other stringed instruments. I am also a skilled audio engineer, with a masters' in acoustics. I would be more than happy to work as an audio engineer in any capacity that I can offer to anyone. I am a free thinker. I put great value on dreams and alternative states of consciousness.
Interests
art, astronomy, Economics, electronics, Music, Space Travel, technology
What I'm Reading
Currently; E.C. Riegel, C.H. Douglas, and Jacque Fesco. Books that have influenced me; John Lee Anderson's biography of Che Guevarra, "The Sovereignty of Good" by Iris Murdoch, "Language Truth & Logic" by Alfred Jules Ayer, "Relativity" by Einstein, and "Liber Al Vel Legis" by Alester Crowley.
