If there was no media, no corporation...

I've always wondered about a few things. What would happen if we stopped buying things? After reading Noam CHomsky's http://www.chomsky.info/articles/199710--.htm, I am further demoralized.

We kind of know what happened after the 2009 recession? A few people's mistakes and many million lives were shaken irreversibly.

I wonder how do jobless, money-less people survive?
I can't imagine!

But then, what happened to the world's money? If 1000 notes were printed, 1000 need to remain still right? Where is all the money? Earlier it was in 900 hands and now it's in probably 10 hands.

It's probably a very deep question as to how things revive. Who creates new jobs to reduce joblessness?

I really want to track money movement. How does the printed money circulate?
When there is a recession where does all that money vanish?

When there are no buyers, how do you sell?

Let's say, all the women realize that they are naturally beautiful and stop using cosmetics and makeup. How many companies will vanish?

Suppose we all stopped reading news or watching news - what would we be discussing when we meet others? Today's water cooler talks are coming from newspaper mostly. If not, what would be talk? What would we do with the free time? If all of us had nothing to communicate, nothing to do except our own personal work...how would life be? We'd have no movies to watch, no celebrities to gossip about.. no sports to discuss.. what would we do? Maybe we'd find something to involve ourself with.. Playing cricket by ourself is far more enjoyable than seeing someone else play, right?

I wonder, how life would be! We may turn inwards and find our passions irrespective of media trends.. We will not be influenced by the media anymore..

I don't know. But that's a nice case to imagine.
