Using consumer cards instead of cash should
not have any affect upon the value of the Australian dollar. The value of the
Australian dollar in the AEM’s Egalitarian society can be determined in
the same ways that it can be determined now (i.e. by the money market or
by the government fixing and regulating its value). However, we are not in favour of peoples buying
and selling money as means of making money (i.e. gambling on the money
market), because it undermines Egalitarianism and also produces no
social benefit. Also, we can foresee unfavourable outcomes in a money
market for the Australian dollar because it will only ever be influenced
by the buying and selling behaviours of devout anti-Egalitarianist
non-Australians, who can no longer invest in any Australian money-making
ventures. As such, we may revert back to the practice of regulating or
fixing the price of the Australian dollar, particularly during the
establishment of Egalitarianism. If this is what we end up doing, the regulated value of the dollar will
be determined at the time.
