Re: "In the Old Age, we were into making money off each other.
We were into profit making endeavors. Banks do this all the time. It is actually outlawed in the Old Testament,
this idea of making a profit off of other people.
There is a name for that."
The name is usury. As far as I know it is specifically concerning adding "interest" on loans, making "money" on money lent. That practice was forbidden in the old testament.
Here are some examples:

Then in the new testament even the "loan" itself was discouraged and gifting was encouraged instead!
Also this Shakespeare Quote:
"Neither a borrower nor a lender be,
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry."
Hamlet Act 1, scene 3, 75–77
One of my favorite stories in the new testament is that of Jesus casting out the money changers from the temple court.
Friends are golden!
