There's a far more fundamental drive in humanity than the drive to become wealthy -- it's the drive to mate. Those who are successful and productive have a fundamental advantage in the mating game than those who watch TV all day. That's not going to change whether we use money to keep score or not.

There is nuance. There might be a drive to have sex, but not necessarily reproduce. When women are empowered, have agency, and there is robust access to contraceptives, the total fertility rate declines below replacement rate. High status marketplace participants will be advantaged, but not everyone might value that chase or advantage. Some chase wealth, some status, some power, some happiness.
