On the other side of this, there is the Deep Space Nine episode In the Cards. Nog, a Ferengi, helps Jake do work in exchange for things that people want. Then take some risks, buying stuff they don't know if they can sell, and end up makings some trades that gets people what they want, so Jake can get what he wants. In the end there's a montage showing everyone ends up happier.

So people did work freely. People paid them freely. They took a risk with some of their gains to buy things they hoped might meet someone else's needs, with the hope of making mutually beneficial change. In the end, people served one another freely, not based on guilt or coercion, and everyone ended up with more of what they wanted. That's a world most people want to live in.
