At any period in history, people couldn't foresee the changes in front of them. Yet their way of life slowly disappeared and a new one that they could never have dreamt of slowly took it's place. Some of these changes were relatively small, and some were huge. A change away from a financial system would obviously be a pretty big one - but that doesn't make it impossible.

If the world as we know it is the best we can achieve, then we've failed as a species. Apologies if I'm getting a bit high and mighty

Apology not excepted
