Yes, but it would have to be highly localized and based on barter.

As soon as you introduce a common means of exchange - like money - you need systems to manage it. That complexity has a great many benefits, such as the wider availability of a greater variety of goods and the ability to travel widely and still secure services and acquire goods, both of which are very challenging under a barter economy.

The alternative, espoused by some, is a Common Good economy. This unrealistic economy is based on the supposed human drive to work and contribute to society and in return you have free access to any goods and services you want or need. It presumes that all functions in the economy would still get performed by willing volunteers and that consumption would never out pace supply. Attempts at this system have been communist, socialist, or marxist economies, and have not been shown to function well.

What are financial markets What function do they perform and How would an economy be worse off without them?

In simple terms without getting stuck in exceptions to rules and definitions, Financial markets are places where debt and equity (money is the good that is traded, a bit like a supermarket where food is sold but replace the food with shares in a company i.e equity and future income from loans i.e. debt) are sold, they perform the function of matching those looking for investment, with people looking to invest. and they promote economic efficiency as they save time and money for investors and people looking for investments as they "meet" at these markets
