When I read stuff like this I both empathize with the writer and then consider how life might be if We eliminated the need for money.
Now, I am sure many will say that is impossible, but I assure You that, though there are high obstacles - such as calling forth from black ops (here in the US where I am) the free energy tech They keep hidden - We CAN do it. In fact, it is for that reason that the tech, electrogravitics, is kept hidden.
The reason free energy would eliminate the need for money is because all money represents is meaningful energy expended in an energy-scarce society. (One can grasp this most easily by considering the first hunter, gatherer, farmer, miner. The stuff They gained/used was free: critters, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seed, sun, soil, rain, ores. It was the meaningful energy expended that gave "value" to the stuff: the killing, picking, tilling, weeding, harvesting, mining, transporting.)
So... Adding abundantly what money represents would reduce the need for money...but what about the necessary jobs no One wants to do? Just now in Our history We are at a stage in developing robots which can do that work, making Human energy for such work unneeded. What adding these two thing would do is:
Eliminate poverty (whatever One wants is free)
Eliminate hunger (with food distributed by need and not profit, VAST waste will be avoided - supermarkets alone throw out hundreds of thousands of TONS of food a MONTH)
Eliminate war (with no profit motive, the war suppliers will not be motivated to instigate wars to Their gain)
Eliminate the control the power elite have over Us
Free Us to follow Our bliss - within the three Laws
1. Do not willfully harm or kill another Being
2. Do not willfully take or damage another Being’s property
3. Do not willfully defraud another Being
(Beings (cap the "B") are sapient, animals are beings.)
Once money is removed, and with the Interweb for global communication, We can chaotically govern Ourselves through a website with local, regional, hyper-regional (continental?), and global levels where problems can be reported, discussed, and actions taken on solutions that are the BEST and not the cheapest or most profitable.
We can eliminate other waste: products will be made to last as there will be no motive for "planned obsolescence" to create additional sales, no need for "theft-deterring" packaging, and so on.

Yes, We surely wouldn't have to worry about who We hire. We will all work stigmergistically (see
http://wlcentral.org/node/2419 for a definition), with leaders of the moment emerging to solve problems as they arise.
