Latvia proposes giving up on money, going for 'vouchers' instead

*Okay. Great. A modern nation-state with no money. Now all we need is a way to hook 'vouchers' directly into Kevin Kelly technosocialism, and the whole shebang tips over like a freakin' applecart.

*You know what would rock? Being a completely bankrupt nation-state, and declaring yourself the world capital of antimoney. Conventional money is illegal in your country (because you can't get any of it anyway) but every financial experiment that isn't money gets legalized in your territory. You bring in all the socialist ecommerce radicals, egold freaks, cellphone bankers, whuffie fanatics, rightwing silver-coinage loons, whatever; you give 'em your derelict factories and all the broadband they can eat.

*Then you just step back and watch the Revolution.
