This assumes the only motivation for mankind is money. That's a fundamentally flawed assumption. I wonder what my monetary gain would be from volunteering my time at a homeless shelter. Or spending time with my family, what would be my monetary gain from that? Or taking my grandmother's trash out every week?
What kind of a person will only do something for money?
Socialism doesn't work because people are unwilling to be good and selfless. The flaw in socialism is the flaw in man.
