    If you’re not allowed to do profit then who would do trade and why?

    Because one can’t possibly own or learn everything so you’ll have to trade some thing you have for something you want. Skills, food, stuff, art, tools, music.

      Are you arguing against a medium of exchange? Bartering is just less efficient trading.

      It’s entirely unrelated to & still enables profit.
