Money is not the problem. It is a tool. As with any tool it can be used for good, or bad. The hammer for example can be used to build, but it can also be used to attack and kill.

Money is a tool. It makes it so there is a universal mechanism for trade and by doing so it makes near instantaneous response to changes in supply/demand possible. Without it you need central planning instead and that is totally unrealistic. There are far too many moving parts, components, and they are being created faster than they can be written down. Money as a tool provided a way to adapt to the vast ever expanding numbers of parts, services, components, and the way things are combined. Central planning cannot do that. If a God exists and is omniscient that might be able to do it but that's about it.

You see the problem is not with money which is a tool. The problem is in the minds of people. They are the ones who decide how they will use that tool. If you remove money then the people who think the ways that make money bad will only exploit other things and find power other ways. If you wish to fix the problem people associate with money it is not by removing money. It is by studying the motivations in the minds of people that lead them to decide to use the tool for malevolent purposes.
