Zeitgeist: The Movie. Which might totally deconstruct your worldview.
But as far as what next, technocracy usually oversimplifies and fails to integrate an understanding of the successes of capitalism and some of the failures of socialism.
Because technocracy usually assumes a type of AI-based central planning and has little or no room for markets. But I believe that any realistic plan must have accomodations for some significant amount of competition and inequality as well as a strong emphasis on facilities to evolve the system and have types of local specialization.
So my belief is that we do need a more holistic view of information and more ways to track and regulate than is provided by the basic concept of assigning monolithic points (money) which is also a gross oversimplification, but there also needs to be some concept like that, just more sophisticated. Such as tracking points available for different categories of things or autotaxing different activities or just tracking resources per transaction.
So I think it will not work to get rid of money, but we need money to be much smarter and less one dimensional etc.
