This helps answer a lot of questions. Still some were not really answered that well. One was on equality. I would like to hear more on motivation and innovation in a Socialist system. Also, what happens to money? Does money circulate and accumulate like it does in Capitalism? Does it work like certificates or gift cards that can only be used once. Does money have and depreciation rate with time if it is not used after being issued to you for the work you did or does it simply expire after a certain time and have no value?
