Shelly once posted a great video on how money is created but I can't find it. If I remember the video talks about how our economy relies on increasing consumption to grow. Real estate is the tangible item that backs up the shell game. I think it suggests replacing the system with an infrastructure based economy. Some would call that big gov socialism.
For the last fifteen or twenty years, it generated over consumption. We still produce goods and offer services. If we didn't continue to do that, a grand scheme like yours would run out of funding in short order.
