At it's core money is merely a concept used to determine deservingness though. It lets us answer the question "does this person deserve X," where X can be providing them services/goods (or not.)

At the moment money is a rather contorted and easily manipulable proxy for deservingness though which is the cause of a lot, if not the majority, of the world's troubles.

There's no technical reason though why we couldn't for example determine deservingness through interpersonal distribution of value; like PageRank but for people.
