I dont think people are inherently greedy. We are taught from a young age the need for money which in turn makes people greedy. Ie nurture not nature

If people grew up on small farms with only a bartering system, i dont think people would hoard resources nearly as much.

It may be i want to see the best in people but i do believe most people would rather help others than not.

We are taught from a young age the need for money

Bartering isn't any better than using fiat. Fiat allows economies to function at a level bartering can never approach. To say we 'need' money exposes your ignorance.
