Open the floodgates

In my perfect world, as I have come to see it, money would not exist.  The constant struggle to earn enough money would not exist.  All people would have the things they need to live comfortably and safely.

Niave?  Perhaps, but I do subscribe to the idea that money is the root of all evil, and that to live and die by the dollar is no way to live at all.  Money itself, the hard physical reality of currency creates nothing.  All that we use, need, desire exists independently of currency, and is neither created nor consumed because currency exists. 

This in mind, a society based not on economic gain is possible, in theory.

I agree that greed it a huge part of the problem, but I would like to think that once necessity is met, greed could be managed. I know that it is idealistic, that society as a whole would have to change, the world over, not just in our tiny neck of the woods, but wouldn't it be super if it could/would.
