Without an economic layer, a civilization cannot prosper, thrive, and survive. Human consciousness is not ready to think at a different level and live in a world without a form of exchange or money.

That I agree with, somewhat. How is it then that in times of crisis we are perfectly capable to plan the economy? I agree that a world without exchange of goods and services is too far removed from our current reality to implement all at once right now. That doesn't take away the need to keep working to move in that direction, one step at a time. That starts with the realization that what we have now simply isn't worthy of our capabilities as the ruling species on this planet. We can do better, of that I'm 100% sure :-)
When we face a crisis, we need to react quickly to find solutions. In the normal state is the status quo without too much change in the economy. ;)
