Why indeed. Most cultures used "reciprocity economics."
Self-interest, competition, and materialism are recent invention.
Many other groups are discussion how we might start local
"gifting" systems. Why not here.
The below review gives some additional information.

The native Indians of British Columba and the US Pacific Northwest States
once had such a 'gifting' system, Bill. It was called the 'potlatch'. And
brought as much a societal ruination, only in reverse, as what the authors
of that piece say are the excesses of modern acquistiveness. The BC
Government finally had to ban it. Lets get back to 'Social Credit'. It's
not something that's been tried and failed. Its 'day' of proper application
is yet to come.
