Basically it has to be a spontanious desire that motivates someone to do something to truly be intrinsic.

I do understand where your getting at, that it is possible to instill intrinsic motivation into not only one person, but all of society around the world. This is something i do not believe possible without chemical and psychological modification/manipulation. Which is why it would be great for you to read Brave New World.

Now, about the failure of free market society. I suppose from a Marxist POV, it has failed.
The problem i see arising with that idea is the lack of an objective measurement of value. For example, if i believe my time is worth something, and i desire to gain from "spending my time", i might even be inclined to sell a portion of my time for X amount of dollars. An hour to me might be worth more or less than an hour for somebody else. For that reason alone, currency is irreplaceable. What else provides such an objective measure of value?
