So - money is a made up concept that people invented. In theory, people are in control, although the world's economies are so interlinked that it's almost become a beast of its own.
But is there any reason why we can't just 'freeze' the economy?
e.g. Person A can't work and isn't being paid.
Landlord doesn't collect rent from Person A.
Mortgage co. doesn't collect.
Shares are not paid by mortgage co for that period. investments neither lose nor gain value. etc.
So - the entire stock markets of the world cease trading for 14 days, companies don't lose/gain money, they can then pick up again 2 weeks later (or 3 etc) when people are able to go back to work.
After all - stock markets do close down/slow down overnight in a rolling pattern around the world, and even close for major religious/social holidays during the year.
I'm not suggesting this as a practical option. It would only take one country to break ranks and try to start trading/investing/making profit while everyone else was shut down, like a thief in the night.
But - as a theoretical exercise would this work? Obviously there would be some loss anyway, but is it even an idea that's possible?
