I think it's a pipe-dream.  Back in the days before true civilization, 
hunter/gatherer times (Neanderthalensis) things probably worked a bit like 
that but only because they defined 'profit' as a different kind of wealth.  
Good furs, tools, etc was 'wealth'.  Later man defined it as how many horses 
or goats one had.  How many cultivatable fields.  It was still 'money' but 
not made of metal.  Even primitive societies today have a form of 'wealth' 
that they trade back and forth for needed things.  Tis the nature of the 
beast.
