What is a Utopian Society?

It’s easy to lay blame on others for the issues we currently face, we all do it. But what is a perfect society, a, Utopian society? We could certainly envision a perfect world but is it realistic? I believe a Utopian society would need to be realistic and achievable or it would be nothing more than a dream.  

It’s easy to discount those who dislike the current institution. By comparison to historical society it would appear that we are currently at the height of the civilized world.

But, what is society? Moreover, what is it now? With our current economic system we have evolved the idea of consumption into a material culture. It has served society well, from medieval ages we required a system of rewarding labour and consolidating asset value. However, this prosperity also meant that we organized ourselves around it.

Rather than implementing cultural anthropology and future planning, we are flying by the seat of our pants on a global scale. We have the knowledge, resources and manpower to create a society of abundance and sustainability for everyone. I suggest that a utopian society be one which is based on resource availability, self-actualization of man and the elimination of economics (money). From this, crime, violence, hate etc. should be nothing more but problems of an obsolete history. (Joseph, 2008)

With this new and potentially revolutionary information, tell me, what do you know about resource economics? Do you think the crutch known as money has used up its value? Or, is economics (money systems) still the only way forward and civilization would not be possible without money?
