1. I've wondered the same thing.

But, instead of a material currency shift, I think a philosophical shift in how we relate will come first.

Basically looking at a world where 'money' cannot be horded. We're pretty far from a system like that, although it could work in limited circumstances, like the confines of a commune, or any tight-knit community of like minded people. From there you work up the organizational chart: a group of units - a 'state', to a group of those - a 'country', etc.

It's a tough call, puts us up against the reality of our greedy human nature, folks don't like dealing with that.
