Not to be that guy, but if there wasn't money, we'd be trading ten chickens for a table, or two tables for a cow. The concept of money is merely making the logistics of trade transactions more convenient, which barter trading doesn't allow.

Or you know, we’d be meeting everyone’s need for wellbeing without expecting it to be a transactional process.

Even though hunter gatherer societies are generally egalitarian, they still do material transactions.

Luckily we don’t want to return to hunter gatherer societies. Gift economies exist, where the expectation is people take what they need.
