Money is an good thing but leaves much to be desired. If we consider money's primary beneficial quality to be that it enables commerce and commerce rewards people who provide value then it is great. Money is pro-social, from this point of view. The big problem is that money provides little recourse for the rest of us in the case that a person provides a lot of value, accumulates a lot of money, and then turns around and acts like a jerk. Having money allows one to destroy value indiscriminately, to a large degree. I can't think of a better system, really, however, besides a robust system allowing democratic regulation of commerce.
