Draft (21st century utopia) “History, despite its heartbreaking pains, cannot be unlived…” (Angelou Maya)History has taught us many lessons for the future. Yet we have failed to learn the lessons. For example, the current economy is not very prosperous. We can recall the Great Depression of the 1930s, coming out of World War II. The US stock market collapsed and triggered a global economic crisis. In 2007, we faced another global economic crisis with the recession. The recession occurred due to the complete fall in house prices and the dramatic increase in inflation. We, the people, blame the government for not having a plan of action in case something like the Great Depression happens again. The truth is that we, as a civilization, failed to understand the mistakes we made by borrowing loans that we could not repay. People are suffering from malnutrition, climate change, disease, financial hardship and, most importantly, losing lives. Our 21st century should not face these types of challenges because we are an advanced civilization with great technological advancements. How could we solve the problem? To end these challenges, a utopia must be created. This utopia must cover every square inch to enrich people's lives and end suffering. My utopia would be located between two large rivers, with one side touching sea level for a port, and the land would include mountains with small streams, flat lands, forests and deserts. The ideal size would be Texas. The word “utopia”, which comes from the Greek “ou” = no + “topos” = place, or nowhere, happy and lucky place. In Sir Thomas More's Utopia he describes "the island of the Utopians is two hundred miles in diameter in the middle part, where it is widest, and nowhere much narrower than...... middle paper...... al thing is finance/accounting. The Latin expression “Radix Malorum est Cupiditas” meaning greed is the root of all evil. We do not want utopian corruption among citizens. Finance is a “theory and practice of conducting large public and private transactions involving money” (finance 1). We live in a free market system in which corporations are created and monopolies can arise. In utopia, the type of money we will be talking about is an exchange of services. If someone needs to wash their clothes, they will trade for dishwashing, for example. We will avoid any gaps between insurance, banks, stocks, bonds and other securities, because they will not exist. No taxes will be collected from citizens, no public sales, no interest because we will share everything as it should be. Citizens will have the comfort of knowing that they will not go into debt.
