I'm doing this at the moment in Economics. This sort of system is called the Traditional Market and is neither communist or captalist. Now days bartering is considered primitive.

Now days bartering is considered primitive. ya i learned about that in school and their economy is based on tradition and is much unlike market, command, or mixed economies

Well... that pretty much IS how trade works anyway (in a free market). Currency just has the job as a placeholder for value... or at least if the state kept its hands out of the economy it would.
So with regards to:
If the whole world took up that concept right now, wouldn't it be us that were poor and the starving people that were rich, because some people here and USA (no offence) are a bit too lazy and will have nothing to give. Yet the starving people in Africa and Asia have been working hard, making clothes and jewelry. They would practically be rich. Discuss?
Evidently not.
