Heaven's Economy

[Fool]

What kind of economy will heaven have?

Where do you get it will have an economy?

What kind of economy will heaven have?

It's based on marshmallows. You use the large ones like bills and the mini ones like coins.

It's based on marshmallows in hell as well, but there it's a huge sticky mess since all your currency just melts into a big wad of goo.

 

[Nakosis]

Feudalism, obviously since all authority would be held by God.

 

[Willamena]

Where do you get it will have an economy?

Heaven's representatives on Earth suggest that Heaven has an economy.

If heaven is what it is said to be, why would we need an economy in the first place? All our needs would be taken care of right?

Is that possible on earth?

Thy kingdom come?

Not unless we can create matter out of nothing, But I believe we can create the most ethical economy according to our ability and needs,

Unfortunately there are those who want more than they need?

Sure there's greedy people out there, but we outnumbered them by a lot. We can come together in a democracy and make a society where all the cogs in the machine of our economy is ethical.

Capitalist is a form of hell then? A Richman can get to heaven but seemingly if he is only stripped of his treasure. Would then he prefer hell because earthly treasures supposedly burn or decay.?

Could heaven be a place where you get everything you need but not everything you want?

Since there are no reservations about giving others what they deserve, and there is no necessity of survival, and avoiding suffering, I'm quite sure money would be useless in a heaven.

People would be content but not complacent getting exactly what they deserve. Heaven would have no economy because people would actually care for one another, and there'd be perfect trust.

Money is a measure of worth and a social contract that relies on good faith and adequate ability to provide value. Good faith and abundance of all things a being needs is never in question in my heaven. People live to serve others, and be served by others in heaven. There's no scarcity in heaven. No greed there.

We are pretty near "creating matter out of nothing" compared to the economies only 200 years ago. The use of machines has given us the ability to produce everything we need with only a fraction of the time it took our ancestors. Any industrialised country could provide all it's inhabitants with food, shelter, health care, education, public transportation and some additional comforts by just taxing machine work at a degree that it would still be more profitable to use the machine than employing a human. And the machines are going to take over more and more work. With the upcoming next generation of AI we'd be near a post scarcity economy. (I think we are already there and only greed is keeping us from implementing it.)
If there was a heaven, I think it would be post scarcity.

To get a small one, one prays twice a day. To get the bigger one, requires praying five times a day (or something like that). The currency on Earth, heaven and hell is prayer.

" 5 and showing mercy unto the thousandth generation of them that love Me and keep My commandments. "
Exodus 20 / Hebrew - English Bible / Mechon-Mamre, Deuteronomy 5 / Hebrew - English Bible / Mechon-Mamre

Economy, in any case, requires a currency, even if it is a stone wheel or a buffalo.
