There is no better or fairer system than free market capitalism enhanced by a set of rules that sett he balance between social responsibility ( running inefficient public sector institutions are not part of that) and enterprise.
There is currently no problem with the enterprise side of society but there is a problem with the social side which is not about money but is about competence.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

he "Great Earthquake" leads the cities of Los Angeles, San Diego, and Santa Barbara to merge into a single metropolis under the name San Angeles. The city becomes a utopia run under the pseudo-pacifist guidance and control of the envangelistic Dr. Jeremy Corbyn, where human behavior is tightly controlled.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

And 2 - why on earth would you not want money?!!! It's the most simple & effective method of signalling your own personal needs & wants, weighted against lesser needs & wants, and other people's needs & wants, to a literally billions of trading individuals around the globe.
Without money you can't do that - and as such the aggregate population of the world won't be able to service your needs as efficiently.Comment
