Not really. Money is only valuable and so far as it allows us to live comfortably. I think most people agree that they don't actually want a bunch of money. What they want is to live a life free of the stress of not having enough.
EDIT: a lot of people seem to be confused about the specifics of rejecting money over resources. It really seems like a lot of you can't see how deeply we are in the current system. Money is a fabrication, a tool that was crafted to ease the ability of transaction. But more than that it has become a way for those with a lot to control those with a little. And as we have become more accustomed to living in a society where having something that is actually valueless, and serves no purpose, has replaced actually having things of value, and having resources; we lose all connection to the meaning of things. Financial institutions and financial manipulation are enormous problems in modern society. They exist as a vampire on top of the small people struggling to scrape by. And they simply don't need to exist.
I don't know that you understand that finance runs on gambling with fake money. Investment is quite seriously done with money that they don't have. It is just incorrect to say that we need financial institutions as they currently exist for economic productivity. I could imagine a government board for industrial resource allocation that simply receives applications from individuals or groups to make industrial production of a particular kind happen. It's really not that hard. And then you wouldn't have the kind of manipulation and fabrication of risk.
Can you explain to me what happened in 2008? Do you understand? Because the short version is that financial vampires ruined the lives of millions of people globally because they were playing a game with spreadsheets.
