    Who makes the consumables in a library economy? Why on earth would I farm for love of the game?

        Someone else will do it then, surely? I can just play video games and check things out permanently from the library and get free food from the farmer?

          Maybe if you want to piss off the farmer…

          You are forgetting that there is a component of anonymity that fiat currency provides transactions. You lose that in a social economy.

          Money is “asocial”.

            Well the farmer has to share though, right? So what do I care if he’s mad at me?

                So the farmer can arbitrarily decide who gets food?

                  Yeah

                  Just like in the existing capitalist economy, case managers decide who receives disability payments and insurance analysts decide who gets medical treatment. Who knew society means being at the whims of other people 🤡

                  Is a social economy, you can directly appeal to people with resources you want, as in “socialize”.

                    Gotcha. What about people who the farmer has never met, but they come to him for food?
