What? There are plenty of people "doing good stuff" for reasons other than "monies". Are you a child?
I interpreted Nick's comment as meaning he would like to live in a gift economy where voluntary, no strings attached exchanges are the norm.
Then he, and anyone who dreams about living in a "gift economy" are perfectly free to start giving away everything they have without hope or any expectation of receiving anything in return. Nothing stopping him.
A gift economy, gift culture, or gift exchange is a mode of exchange where valuables are not traded or sold, but rather given without an explicit agreement for immediate or future rewards
I would disagree with future rewards. Its the reward of a future I am looking for.
A better place to live, is a reward and aimed at.
A better example is what I want to see stop.. Ie,' I'll help your country but you will be our bitch for generations.'
Where it could be;
' I will help your country because I believe the world is better with you in it.'
