Money is just a representation of time spent on some productive work that the market sees value in. We have money to make trade more granular, and to have fewer exchange rates.

Furthermore, this article isn't at all about finding "a way out of Capitalism". It just shows that to a certain degree, people value not being burdened with guilt.

Does that mean a society would work without money, and with people just "doing the right thing" so as not to be burdened with the guilt of not having done the right thing?

No. History has shown — over and over — that this just does not work.
