I would only be excited if you allowed me to buy 10% of your magic wand at a cheap price before you began waving.

I couldn't do that, since the money you would use to buy 10% of my magic wand wouldn't exist anymore.

You see, 'money' is just a 'claim on debt'.

If all 'debt' disappeared then 'money' would be a claim on 'nothing'.

There would be no money in our current economic system.

Nobody would have a paying job. There would be no food to buy. Anarchy would prevail - and hundreds of thousands of people would literally starve to death if food isn't provided for free to them by laborers working for free.

Be careful what you wish for...

BS. Money is a storage of wealth. It is not a storage of debt.
