The old system of open market places where you can bargan with each dealer or even trade what you got for what they have. Like we do at swapmeets and garage sales.
Instead of the pre-priced monopoly of chain store-ism.
Why would I want to haggle over ever transaction that I make a day. There is a convenience to knowing how much something costs. Do you really expect someone to haggle with a grocery clerk over every item in their carriage?

BTW, you are arguing for a different pricing structure, not a different economic system.

In other words, I would favor "limited capitalism" and less " name-brand, chain store" mentality. Get it back in the hands of everyday people, the old mainstreet mom and pop stores, etc.
IOW, you want to replace capitalism with capitalism. You just want different people to own the capital.
