Can a money-less society work? We have got the answer already, just look at history while society had no money as exchange medium. How their society worked and etc. Money was founded obviously for overcome the barriers and difficulties of exchange system at that time. For answering whether we need money at all, I can say yes we need it, apart form now people become to love money too much, Money is still important as easy media of exchange. It is human error who love money too much and disregarding other values beside money. There is no any problem with the  money itself.

In times of electronic money invasion, I think that status quo would be the best intended result, eventhough I personally believe that a gold and silver based money is more appropriate.

Money is important but work is most important. Money does not give always honey. Moneyless society will be for voluntary worker as retire person and students.
