Don't throw the idea of money under the bus. Money in itself is not the root of the problem. Money is a tool, an instrument -- let's keep that perspective clear in our minds. We can innovate in the money space (crypto-currencies, blockchains, and all that) if we want better solutions.

[But donkeys, I fear, will never be abolished.]
Look to how money is misused abused and try to figure out how we can remedy those situations. Much better :)
