I'd reinvent money, by making it vanish completely. It causes so much damage to people and the planet.

I'd reinvent money to represent the underlying trust metrics (e.g. Whuffie), or, even more directly, the prediction-market value of a person's life-potential, post-trust-investment. To put that more simply, "People's faith in X" would be a stock.
