The free market alienates people from their decision-making. It prevents people from taking responsibility for the consequences of their actions. It allows people to feel nonchalant about the source of their consumer goods. It allows people who work in the finance industry to feel disconnected from the death and destruction they fuel by investing in the arms trade, blood diamonds etc.
The answer is global cooperation based not on market forces or religion or even a set moral code but the desire to improve the lot of humankind and an understanding of the mutual and universal benefit of this cooperation.
We currently live in a society where money is the only thing people have to desire. The problem is money is not enough, so even those with millions still want more because it will never satisfy.
