Capitalism is obviously destroyed but I read very little on "money".

I would check out Sacred Economics by Charles Eisenstein for a thoughtful analysis of money and its corrosive effects on human society. It goes beyond capitalism. He also has suggestions for how money could be changed into a more neutral or even positive influence. It is long and a bit of a slog through. Curious if there are any authors that summarize the same ideas a bit more succinctly.

early chapters of The Dawn of Everything, David Graeber points out that several indigenous North American societies had concepts of wealth but there was no connection between wealth and power (“its corrosive effects”) like there is in European societies
