<div id="_mcePaste">The Guardian did a whole series of <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/series/moneyless-man">articles</a> featuring Mark, including Mark Builds an <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/green-living-blog/2010/aug/10/sustainable-housing-environment">Earth Ship</a> (without money), How to <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/green-living-blog/2010/jul/27/moneyless-man-party-for-free">Party</a> (cashless), and of course the essential How to <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/blog/2010/jun/02/mark-boyle-moneyless-man-food-for-free"><em>Eat</em></a> without Cash. Mark pushes a concept called <a href="http://www.justfortheloveofit.org/">Freeconomy</a>, whereby you give in advance, no money involved in every transaction.</div>
<p>I’ve just read The <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Moneyless-Man-Year-Freeconomic-Living/dp/1851687548">Moneyless Man</a> and can honestly say i had tears in my eyes at the end. You might want to take a glance at other <a href="http://www.justfortheloveofit.org/blog-4212~moneyless-human-#4---sonja-kruse">people</a> who live without money touching their lives. The Freeconomist people even have an advert, and weirdly – despite not a penny was spent on its creation, it’s good.</p>

I have been following mark boyle for 2 yrs. He is my hero. Instead of using money, Money is misused and abused and no one can be sure of putting certain value on anybody or any items and thats why Money should not exists.
