What are the better alternatives for allocating resources? Any distribution mechanism will need a standard metric for measuring and dividing piles of resources. Money is that metric.
I do agree with you about work though. Assuming a future government structure similar to our current one, a humane economic policy will probably need to provide some form of universal basic income.
I'm still not convinced that work is obsolete or becoming dangerous... As long as humans have desires (whatever weird e.g. I want my hair to be the bluest and spikiest), and as long as these desires there are not the same for everyone, there will be incentives to exchange value, and while money is the unit of measure, work is the effort directed to get that value for you. Also, the side effect of all this is that me make things, so is work dangerous? Perhaps /we/ are, as work is a byproduct of our way of being.
