Auralis: where giving replaces money

Have you ever wondered what a world without money would look like? In Auralis this idea of economics is not a fantasy, but reality. People don't use money in Auralis, because they simply don't believe in capitalism. Instead, they believe in the idea of giving and receiving.  

Therefore, the residents of Auralis pay through skills, craft or work. For instance, a farmer might give a part of his harvest in return for something else and an artist might paint something beautiful in exchange for something. In addition, they think the community values balance, gratitude and connection through this method. Auralians believe that wealth can exist without money, because it's not determined by fortune.

As a result, this system creates a continuous circle of trade. If you contribute what you can, you can receive what you need. This shows mutual respect and care towards eacht other's talents and needs. Community is highly placed in the values of Auralis, they believe that you can achieve everything, as long as you do it as a team. They show this perfectly in their economics.

Although that value is often calculated through how much money somebody owns, in Auralis it isn't, value isn't measured in numbers. Instead, it's measured through kindness and gratitude. Moreover, it's about fair exchange and placing humanity over profit.

To sum up, Auralis challenges the idea of capitalism. They show that cooperation replaces competition, it's not about how much somebody owns, it's about what you are willing to give and how grateful you are for what you receive. Perhaps we all need to measure succes by giving instead of owning, cause being able to give is a lot more worth than property.
