Human society has been optimizing for the wrong thing since 20,000BC.
To that end, the future I want doesn't focus so much on money, but on needs. Letting a market dictate "needs" is clearly not working for the betterment of humanity a whole. While it helps with progress, I believe there is an upper limit when human behavior is brought into the equation.

That's because money lets people efficiently deploy resources where they feel it is needed. What makes you say it's "clearly not working", other than comparing developed nations to a non-existent utopia?
