You asked about a world without money and inferred what an utopia it would be. Next question: who/what then provides for the entire populace? Just in food alone: Where does the food for everyone to survive come from - growing, harvesting, producing, shipping to all areas, distributing. If it isn't being sold in a free market it is under the control of an entity, whether it be government, global corporation, etc. And anyone who can distribute the supply like that, can withhold it as a form of good behavior controls or to favor friends in high places. And further, how do the controlling entities get the food without paying for it? Enforced labor via feudalism or slavery. Extrapolate that into clothing, fuel, vehicles, etc. Money isn't bad. It is only a tool just like any other. It is a symbol of a value that is mobile and there are those who use it for good and others for not.

No enforced labor necessary. What you are describing is basically communism. Everybody does their part to generate all the produce and wares required, and everybody gets equal shares in it. Optionally those who work more / have more dangerous jobs / whatever qualification get some additional bonus. Can work quite well on small scale, seems to fall down everytime it's tried on large scale due to greed and missing control of all members. So, having small, mostly self-sustained communities would be the way to go for this, possibly with some traders, who directly trade the surplusses of the different communities against each other. But you're also right that money in the end is just a natural evolution out of this. Having something of stable value with no other purpose than to stand in for the value of other trade items allows both sides to make better trades. It allows more specialization and focus on few products, while all others are traded with other specialists, each becoming more effective at producing value. But just like communism, it falls down when it get's too big. It just grows a little slower. But once companies grow bigger and richer than states, or at least big and rich enough to take significant influence in their own interest, the power balance shifts from all to the few in control of those companies.
