Yeah that's fair. I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. We shouldn't rely on greed to make a system nor altruism alone. The difficult part is actually making a system that works.

The Buddhist economy is essentially a gift economy that has survived for 2500 years.

Shit, our genealogy is also basically a gift economy, and one much more ancient than Buddhism.

Which is my way of saying I think the system is in our nature. If we can learn to embrace life and stop being so terrified of our individual deaths.

The best systems happen organically after all. And without coercion.
