  Human greed is a problem of capitalism because it makes competition out of humanity. We can still track what people have in the gift economy. If everyone gets what they need, then there will be no greed at all and more sustainable lifestyles will be lived. Most scarcity in the world is fabricated in order to drive up the value of goods in a profit driven system like capitalism. In the case of actual scarcity in the gift economy, we would simply go on need, who needs these resources the most? Anyone that doesn’t need whatever resources wouldn’t be asking for them in the gift economy.

  I’m a full on no money commie. To me any society that has money is capitalist, doesn’t matter what happens to it, it’s a capitalist society once you introduce money to it. I propose a gift economy. It is the first economy recorded and is how humans should be living. We just give people what they need, not expectining anything in r eturn. No money, no bartering system. We just give anyone what they need. The gift econmmy is so engrained in human life and we do a little even when in a captalist society. Ever explained the rules to a boardgame? I imagine you did that for free, asking for nothing in return, gift economy. Helped a family member with tech support, you did that for free, asking for nothing in return. Even writing a internet comment, you likely did that for free and a lot of internet comments are written because someone asked a question, you’re helping them for nothing in return. We need to get to the gift economy.

  Not to be the um actually guy, but before any recorded trading existed, there was something called the gift economy. We just gave people the things they need, without expecting anything in return. No trading at all. I wonder what life could be like if we kept that system and people would be free to do whatever they want.

  Capitalism lets them live above the rules.
