The world could survive without the need for money, however, that'd solely depend on those willing to work for nothing. Everything in life these days costs money (don't post and say 'love, etc' doesn't). Money is a great source of happiness, also. If you think of it, if you had £100m, what couldn't you buy? Take Richard Branson for example, he owns an island.
At the very end of the day, money is controlled by politics. Politics control literally everything. Without politics, there's no money, without money there's no hope.
So, yes, we depend on money, we need it to succeed, succession is invalid without acquired funds.
If this world was built without the dependency of money then by all means we could go without.
This argument can go on forever.

You have it the wrong way around- money controls politics. I thought this was common knowledge at this point?

Thing is we could all be living fairly where our economy is stable, low unemployment etc. all it takes is ending greed of big companies and government, governments should stick to just helping bring up the community instead of fking finding every possible way to fine them. Companies who charge tonnes of money for products which will break in the next year with the intention for constantly selling more and more, consumers get ripped off on everything all so some family can own their 10th luxury car 
Not saying communist is the answer, not a communist at all but am saying, enough is enough, give back to those who need it

Money was made to replace trading. Money helps ascertain an accepted value for certain goods as opposed to the bartering system. Money also fuels progress; it provides a good incentive to do research and progress technologically. Money's not the perfect incentive; it also fuels murders, kidnapping, robberies and other crimes. It's even worse that the money used today is fiat money (money with no intrinsic value), they're just polymers or pieces of paper. Furthermore currencies aren't backed by resources like gold either. Money itself isn't so important but the opportunities and materials it can obtain for you, those are the items of any real value. If money isn't to be a factor in our lives then people must work out of the good of their hearts and be willing to help progress humanity for the sake of progress. I don't think that is a reasonable expectation though; greed motivates better than goodness. Whether we like it or not; money keeps the planet in some order; if money was taken out of the equation we may have a survival of the fittest thing going on, people may just take what they want/need if their incentive to stay in line and provide valuable work were to disappear.

No, of course it's an economic... of course they're defending the banks. Of course, because if they didn't stop that bank robbery, regardless of the cost, this could jeopardize the entire banking system. You see, there are people who believe that the function of the police is to fight crime. And that's not true; the function of the police is social control and protection of property."

I am sick and tired and my money's always spent,
And though their jobs are killing me, their money pays my rent.
The fuel of world hate, although it's just a seed,
But when it grows and flowers, it becomes the world's greed!
Money for the rich, money for the fed,
God supplies the money and God supplies the dead!
And when yer dead and ready, "exploited" be thy name,
'Cause after you have money, things are never quite the same!
I don't care for money, and money's not for me,
The money fueled this empire and our racist history.
Although I'm forced to use it, the rules have all been set.
But life is not worth living when yer soul is in debt!
Money for the rich, money for the fed,
God supplies the money and God supplies the dead!
And when yer dead and ready, "exploited" be thy name,
'Cause after you have money, things are never quite the same!
Never quite the same!
AHHH!
MONEY KILLS!
MONEY RAPES!
MONEY LIES!
MONEY HATES!
