In a world with a currency system, the flower maker is free to make flowers as much as they want and has the ability to exchange them for trucks through a medium of exchange.
In a world with no currency, the flower maker has to live without a truck.
Our ancestors were faced with the decision of which world they wanted to live in. Most chose the first option. Some chose the second.
Even today, there are people who are still largely choosing the second. They live their lives going from one Rainbow Gathering to another, everyone shares the necessities freely, there is no currency, and there are barter markets. This is a life that anyone, no matter how broke they are, can choose(at least in the US and many other 1st world countries). It is a beautiful place to be, and they happen year round. I highly recommend it to anyone to try, whether or not they think they would like this kind of life. Especially anyone who genuinely longs for a life without currency should absolutely go try it. It is a life-changing experience, almost guaranteed.
